4 Things to Consider When Picking a New Roof Color
Picking out a new roof can be a daunting task simply because there are so many factors to consider. One of the most important aspects of picking out your new roofing product is the color. With colors ranging from blues and greens, to browns and reds, from blacks and grays to beige and gold, you want to make sure you’re selecting the perfect color for your home.
Take your time. Selecting a color for your new roof is not something that you should rush. The decision is one that you will see every day for several years. Consider various color options that best match the architectural style of your residence.
Utilize planning tools. GAF has an awesome tool that allows you to mix and match shingle styles and colors, trim, and exterior materials on a home like yours. You can even upload a photo of your own home to try the various options. As a certified GAF contractor, Elite can assist you in securing the GAF products you select.
Live in an HOA? Note roofing selections on other homes in your area. Step outside and take a look at the roofs on your neighbors’ homes. When selecting a color for your home, you want to compliment the neighborhood. HOA regulations also restrict colors. Be sure to check your guidelines prior to making your final decision. Selecting something that isn’t complementary can make it difficult to sell your home in the future and result in an HOA fine.
Compliment your own home. It is just as important to compliment the features of your own home as it is your neighborhood esthetic. Although doors, siding and shutters can be changed, picking a roof color that closely matches these items can tie your whole house together. Brick homeowners will want to select a color that best suits the coloration in their brick. The brick tones typically pair well with blacks, grays and darker brown roofs.
Taking the above items into consideration will assist you in making the best color selection for your new investment. Making sure you are 100% satisfied with the overall look of your home is key! Having a complimentary roof will make you a happy homeowner and will make your home desirable in the event you wish to sell.
