How to Choose the Perfect Roof Color for Your House?
Choosing the right roof color for your house is the most important and least understood
Material selection in Somers is shaped by the town's watershed setting and its varied housing stock. Almost all of Somers sits within the Croton Watershed, with spring-fed lakes, streams, and dense deciduous forest throughout — conditions that promote faster moss and algae accumulation on standard asphalt shingles than on drier, more open properties. Lake-adjacent properties in the Shenorock, Lincolndale, and Lake Purdys communities deal with the most elevated ambient moisture. Algae-resistant formulations and metal roofing both address these conditions better than standard asphalt.
