Color
Picking your color
Both brands offer a wide range of colors, and you'll choose yours from the manufacturer's lineup before anything is ordered. A good trick: find the color on a house near you and look at it in full daylight.
Which brand should I choose?
Honestly, both are well-regarded architectural shingles. Most people decide on color, look and budget. Tell us which you're leaning toward, or ask us to price both, and you can decide with real numbers.
