NOOOOOO! My grandmother had a beautiful slate roof on her historic register house. It had lasted almost 100 years, but it was difficult to find someone to repair it. Someone renovated her house after her death and tore the slate off and put down asphalt.
I'm all for the cost to benefit ratio of asphalt, but that IS a sin! AC, isn't there a quote from
The First Book of Renovations about this? "Thou shalt not...."
