Roofing in Bear: What We've Learned After 13 Years.

Bear Architecture & Roof Types
Bear is mostly 1990s–2010s colonial subdivisions, ranches, and newer townhome communities. Simple roof lines, asphalt shingles throughout — most homes still have the original developer-grade roof and need an upgrade to architectural shingles.
