This workshop is sponsored by the City of College Park’s Committee for a Better Environment (CBE). Before attending the said workshop, Have a look at this blog post to see the differences between shingle and tile roofing. This way you can keep yourself well informed about the unique ways each one has to maintain them, and with something as simple as shingle repair with can be done rather promptly, you can keep your house looking as if it was built yesterday. However, keep roofs looking good can be quite a difficult task, that’s why it is recommended to consult with a roof contractor before working on anything yourself.
