Your roof is an integral part of your home's curb appeal. It sets the tone for the overall look of your home and affects its resale value.

In the video above, professional contractor and TV host Mike Holmes explains some of the key things you should consider when picking out your new roof, including:

• Choosing a quality product
• Considering shingle styles
• Considering color blends
• Protecting the look of your roof
• Hiring the right contractor

Mike recommends shingles with Scotchgard™ Protector by 3M, which prevent the ugly black streaks caused by algae. That's why Atlas Roofing's Pinnacle® Pristine, StormMaster® Shake and StormMaster® Slate lines are Holmes APPROVED Products.
