I am having my roof redone on my house and was wondering if there is a significant difference in choosing grey shingles instead of black shingles in terms of the heat that my roof will absorb or is the white solar reflective paint the only way to get a significant difference?

Dear Elena,
There is a difference. Cool shingles are actually relatively popular in some areas. There are white shingles as well. We only do flat roofs, so I have personally never worked with shingles. You might be able to get an idea of their cost at http://www.trinityexteriorsinc.com/1108/case-study-are-energy-star-cool-shingles-worth-it.
