Homeowners seek complete roof protection when reroofing and increasingly choose self-sealing shingles. Industry figures show usage rose to 38 percent of asphalt shingle sales in 1966, up from 33 percent the year before. Shingles bond via a factory adhesive activated by sun heat, creating a weather tight roof with wind damage protection and UL wind-resistance labeling.
Much heat enters homes through roofs due to poor insulation or ventilation, but roofs can also help keep houses cooler. When reroofing or building anew, choose white or light colored asphalt shingles to reflect heat. Reflecting heat reduces transfer, helping the house stay cooler. Asphalt shingles now come in many colors including pastels and light blends.
Builders report rising demand for cedar closets in new homes as moth damage grows with wealth. Three clothes moth varieties exist in the United States, all allergic to red cedar.

Keeping clean furs in cedar closets offers permanent protection.
