Ask your QuestionI live in a semi detached Bungalow and I am planning to have a new roof. My neighbours roof is antic brown and I will be having dark grey tiles. My roofer has suggested that I have brown ridge tiles between myside and theirs, as to have dark grey ones on the ridge might cause issues with the neighbour. I don't really know what this would look like as I can't visualize things very well. Is there anywhere I could see a picture of this type of thing?

"Antique brown ridge tiles will look absolutely ridiculous with smooth grey tiles. I would re-consider your roofer as he has even suggested this. #bingsroofing."
