Customer choices - check our roofing guide for your model's roof pitch before copying one: shingles suit the classic and cottage models (two layers of felt or an ice-and-water shield on the 3:12 models); the modern models take membrane, rolled or metal roofing.

Picking a finish? Our Paint and Stain Guide shows which paint or stain suits your region and how to apply it.
