Roof updates

The roof has new shingles and it's looking fresh and new! It is a slightly darker shade as well with dark grey/black shingles, where before they were a lighter grey/green that I think showed the wear/dirt/moss on the roof a lot more.

The gutters have also all been replaced and we are just waiting for the crew to come back for the last time and install some new flashing (metal trim that will match our green gutters & trim and protects it from weather). It's hard to really show in pictures how different it looks, but we think it really does make a difference looking at the house from the street, and are glad we decided to do this project since we got such a good deal!

The Roof

Well now that our basement is 90% done (we are still working on Doors, molding, and a few other finishes), why not have the roof of our house re-done right? Haha. Well this wasn't on my list of things to do, but Matt thought we should do it in the next 3-5 years anyways.... So when a new little company came into our neighorhood (their office is literally a block down the street on the main road) that does green home renovations, and offered to do our whole roof as well as replace our gutters and fix up part of our porch roof.... (at a killer deal since they are trying to get new business) we couldn't pass it up.

Luckily this project requires no work on my part, other than signing some paperwork, woo hoo!  And now by the end of summer we will have a brand new roof before the next winter.

Here are a few "before" pictures of the roof. You can see they have already delivered some of the materials and put it up on our roof where it has now been sitting for a week. Hopefully I will have finished "after" pictures in a few weeks.
