This type of roof will not damage the roof, helping to maintain historic values, and it is usually less visible than the other roof type.

• White Roof

• Solar Roof

• Flat Roof

• Black Roof

This type of roof is the more expensive of the two roof types, with costly materials and labor.

• White Roof

• Solar Roof

This type of roof would be best in cities that have smog (if many roofs were this roof style) because it would help to cool the whole city, creating less smog.
