This Richmond homeowner reached out for quotes for her roof and siding in June 2023. We replaced one side of her siding that had storm damage as well as her roof, for which we installed Owens Corning Duration “Midnight Plum” shingles. From how the roof turned out, we understand why this shingle color is Owen Corning’s color of the year!
