RoofingProduct Selection & Quality3MediumOwner$ implied
A roofer needs to visually match a new architectural shingle roof to an existing 3-tab shingle roof on a connected building, but the different shingle types don't blend seamlessly, and local suppliers mostly stock architectural shingles.
No readily available guidance or product on how to aesthetically transition between architectural and 3-tab shingles on a connected roof structure without compromising appearance or warranty.
