Many Tri state groups have got valleys. Now, what is a valley? It is a metal flashing that you find where two different roofs intersect one another. Biggest complaint with valleys, they do not look really good even when they are painted, they typically stand out like racing stripes on a car. What if I told you there was really great magical way to disguise these valleys and make them blend in like the rest of the roof, how do you do it? It is simple. Get some rust inhibitive paint. It is easy to find at most paint stores, go ahead, clean the valley and make sure that you get all the debris out of it, brush it down, apply the paint and as soon as you apply the paint, sprinkle into the wet paint some of the colored roof granules. And you are going to say, where can I get those Tim? It is easy. Many of the stores that sell shingles to roofers; you can actually order the same colored roofing granules to match your shingles. They are commonly available and here is the best part, they are inexpensive. A five gallon bucket of colored roof granules only cost about 16 to $18. what a bargain, and typically a 5 gallon bucket would be plenty to basically cover the average amount of valleys that you might find on a typical roof. Oh yes, it is that simple.
Okay, I am putting down more granules in the wet paint that I really need to have, that is okay, wait two days for the paint to dry, get back up on the roof and gently brush the excess granules away.
