Things You Need to Remember When Choosing a Shingle Color

Choosing the right asphalt shingle color for your roof can greatly improve your home’s curb appeal. After all, the roof is one of the biggest and most visible parts of your house. In this blog post, Northeast Gutters and Remodeling, a roof replacement expert, explains the things you should keep in mind when choosing a color for your new asphalt shingle roof.

Choose a Roof Color That Complements Your Exterior

Your roof should complement the rest of your home’s color scheme. It is not meant to be the centerpiece of your home’s exterior design. In other words, your roof should whisper instead of shout. It should act as a large background element that highlights the appeal of the rest of your home’s features.

Make Sure Your Shingles Have Some Slight Color Variations

With that said, your roof should not look monochromatic and boring. As a roof installation expert, we recommend that your asphalt shingles should have slight color variations rather than being completely identical. Color variations will add dimension to your roof. Fortunately, many roofing manufacturers offer premium asphalt shingles that have these variations built-in.

View Large Color Samples During Different Times of Day

You should not choose your final roof color solely based on a picture that you’ve seen on a monitor. A computer screen cannot show the true appearance of a newly installed asphalt shingle roof. You will need to get large color samples and look at these samples during different times of day. You need to see the effect of light levels on your brand new roof.
