"A roof is a valuable, smart investment, but it can also
dramatically enhance the look of a home. Homeowners
should absolutely LOVE the look of their new roof," said

purchase," she said.

meant to evoke feelings that match their names--from Summer Harvest to Sand Dune to Merlot. Five of
the seven colors are available throughout the entire U.S. Whatever
