It’s so exciting to get a new roof! You can completely transform the appearance of your home with a new roof. It can be difficult to choose a roof color. You will likely live with it for many years. How do you begin? Before you make that final decision, here are some things you should consider.
Climate Florida – They deal with high temperatures and high cooling bills. Keep in mind that your roof’s color can have a significant impact on the temperature. This can have a significant impact on the cost of heating and cooling your home. The light shingles reflect sunlight and keep the temperature down in hotter areas. Darker shingles absorb heat, keeping homes warm in colder regions.
Color coordination – Your shingle color should be coordinated with other colors in your bricks, wood siding, stone, stucco, or trim. A dark gray roof or black house will complement a gray or blue one, while a brown, cream, or tan house will suit a brown shingle or a mixture of cream and brown. You can accent with brown, gray, and black green, red, yellow or other colors.
Personal – style and preferences should be considered when making a decision. You should consider whether you want to make a statement with your home by choosing a bold color combination or stick to the more traditional options. Your roof can have a significant impact on the appearance of your home and its resale potential.
Architectural Design – It is important to consider the architectural style and colors that you choose for your home. A home that is too dark or too light can make it appear smaller. You can see the actual color in person or virtually.
HOA Guidelines – Be aware of neighborhood considerations like homeowner’s associations and subdivision rules and covenants. It is also a good idea to have your roof not exactly match or clash with the roof of your neighbor.
Color Accessibility – It is possible that the color/brand you are looking for may not be in your local area. Roofing experts can help you locate the right color shingles in your area.
