I hear you on the upfront cost—those solid covers aren’t cheap. I’ve looked at them a few times but just couldn’t pull the trigger yet. For now, I’m s...

Yeah, I’m with you on the install making a huge difference. I went with regular shingles because, honestly, the “impact-resistant” ones were way out o...
