Our new roof!
Well as I blogged earlier we had quite the hail storm a few weeks ago. So we ended up needing a new roof on our house amongst other things. I thought I would show everyone our new white tin roof. You would think it would be louder but we put it on top of the shingles and so we now have more insulation and it is quite quiet when it rains. It also saves us a bunch on house insurance so it will be worth it. I didn't know if I would like it but I love it. It gave our house the much need facelife - although now we need to repaint the eaves...it never seems to end!

The white roof made the shutters pop out. You did well!
It looks good - it is a quaint Texas ranch house.
Andy loves brick. In Texas ALL of the homes are brick. In Utah stucco and stacked rock is so popular, but we prefer brick! Recently Andy built a cover for our patio out of b-deck (similar to your roofing) and we thought it would be noisy but it isn't.
The new roof is a huge improvement over the old one! The standing seams make the roof look bigger and wider. Hopefully, that will deflect hail and direct the ice downwards more than the old roof did. Is it whiter than the old roof was, or is it just the lighting in the pictures that makes the two colors look different?
I’m very impressed with the new roof! I really like the standing seams as well. They do look a lot more modern. Their wide gaps contrast well with the closeness of the bricks on the house. How has this new roof done against some of the storms we had over the past few years?
Having a damaged roof after a hailstorm is such a headache, but I think we should always consider saving up in case that it will happen again. Like what the previous comments said, the new roof is very pretty. And as you said in your blog, it really gave the house a facelift. I hope you also considered the material used for this new roof. Banking on strength and tenacity of a material is always a good thing.
