Replacing your current roof can be exciting. Apart from the added protection and improved comfort, like a fresh coat of paint, a new roofing system can dramatically change your home’s look. When choosing a new roof, it’s important to remember that it’s a large part of your exterior, which means it should match the rest of your home.
Renovation Team shares handy tips to help you choose the best color:
Match Your Brick
Brick homes are known for their excellent durability, making them a popular choice for homeowners. While their longevity causes them to be a good option for sheltering a family, it also means that a large area of your home’s exterior is rather permanent. Other elements like doors, windows and siding can always be changed, so if you own a brick home, we recommend considering its color when choosing a new roof. The red shade of brick goes well with dark browns and grays. If you have multi-colored bricks, choose a more continuous color on your roof so your house doesn’t look too overwhelming.
Complement Your Architectural Style
If you want to highlight your home’s architectural style, it’s best to choose colors that can highlight its unique features. Natural slate, in particular, complements the fine details of Colonial homes well. The woodsy aesthetic of ranches, on the other hand, look best with weathered grays and greens. Warm orange-red shades and curved metal tiles bring life to stucco homes. When you turn to us for roof replacement services, we can help you choose a color and material that suits your home.
Highlight Your Favorite Features
You can also take cues from the other exterior elements of your home. Stone walls, bay windows and wrap-around porches are some features that you can draw inspiration from. You can make them more prominent by choosing a roof color that complements their shade. If you want to highlight a covered porch, however, avoid choosing colors that are similar to its wood or paint as this can create a blending effect.
