New roof shows patches of lighter shingles. Is it heat loss? Installation error?

Best Answer

The roof area that has the lighter color is insulated closer to the roof than the other areas. Insulation is keeping the frost from melting in the lighter areas. The stripes you see between the patches are the location of the rafters, which do not insulate as well.
