Excellent! But only paint if you have a flat roof. I looked into this a year or so ago when I read about painting roofs, and asphalt-shingled sloped roofs shouldn't be painted, according to the Cool Roofs Rating Council. I'll just have to wait until we need a new roof to use light colored shingles, which won't be for many years (I hope!).
I wouldn't recommend replacing your roof with a white roof if the paint is in good condition. Doing so would only mean unnecessary costs. However, if your roof is in need of replacement, a white roof would be the best option, especially if you are an eco-friendly citizen. :)
This is a very helpful post for me. As you see, we’re already planning to replace the roofs and I never considered having a white roof. After watching the video linked here, I think that will be the best choice for now. Thanks for this post! :)
Very smart.
