You’re still tossing around your color options for your new roof. Before you choose your color, there are some things to take into consideration. Once you do, we think your options should narrow down some. Ask yourself some of the questions listed below.
Is Your Roof the First Thing You See?
If your roof is the first thing you see when you pull up to your home, there could be a few reasons to explain this. For starters, if you’re in need of a new roof, that’s all that will be on your mind, and that’s understandable. However, if you notice your roof because it drastically stands out from the rest of your home, your current roof may not be the right color choice. Your roof should accentuate the rest of your home. This means that your roof color should be compatible with the rest of your home, but it can have alternating colors to provide some contrast. The Timberline Ultra HD® Lifetime High Definition® Roof Shingles are an excellent option because they provide a multi-dimensional look without the extra expense.
Is Your Roof Making Your Home Unbearably Hot?
Darker-colored roofs tend to make homes warmer inside, and they can create the urban heat island effect as well. You have a few options available to remedy this. You can choose a light-colored shingle to naturally cool the home. Again, you have to consider what would complement the rest of your home. Your second option to naturally cool down the house is to use special shingles that provide extra protection.
This is another reason Timberline Ultra HD® Lifetime High Definition® Shingles are an excellent option because they are 53 percent thicker than most other roof shingles.
Do You Want Your Roof to Resemble Others in the Neighborhood?
You may have to consider what your HOA wants, or you may want an overall uniform appearance. Slight variations in roofing colors can set your roof apart and still help your home to blend in with others.
Once you have considered these three questions, your color options for your roof replacement project should narrow down. Roof financing can assist you with your roof replacement cost. Your next step will be to choose the right roofing company to handle your roof installation project, but we have the right answer for that too.
