The thought of having a roof replacement may be daunting at times, but the silver lining is the opportunity to increase your home’s curb appeal. One of the more exciting parts of this project is deciding your new roof color.

In this video, we'll share five tips and tricks that can help you choose the right colors for your home's new roof.

Take Large Color Samples From Your Roofing Company

Do not settle on a roof shingle color based on swatches on your computer screen. Get two or three actual shingle samples from roofing contractors, take them home, and inspect them in the light during different hours of the day for accurate testing.

We recommend that you do your preliminary color selection using the manufacturer’s website, then ask your roofing contractor to bring those sample colors. This eliminates back-and-forth and multiple appointments.

Consider Your Architectural Design
When it comes to choosing the right color for your asphalt shingles, one of the most important things to keep in mind is your home's architectural style. Every architectural style has its own unique aesthetic appeal, and choosing the right color of shingles can either enhance or detract from that appeal.
On the other hand, selecting a color that complements your home's architectural style and exterior decorating can make it look larger and more harmonious.

Colors Affect Energy Efficiency
Many homeowners may not know that the color of your roof can affect insulation and ultimately, the energy efficiency of your home. When it comes to choosing the right color for your asphalt shingles, it's important to not only consider the aesthetic appeal of your home, but also the energy efficiency of various colors.
If you're looking to boost your home's energy efficiency, it is highly recommended that you choose lighter-colored shingles or neutral colors instead of darker colors. Not only will this help to reduce energy consumption, but it will also help to lower your home's cooling costs. Keep in mind that the lighter the color, the more reflective the surface will be, leading to less heat absorption and lower energy bills.

Compliment Your Home's Siding Color
By considering your home's siding and shutters, you'll be able to choose a color for your asphalt shingles that complements and enhances the overall look of your home.

Keep in mind that certain colors have more flexibility and can be accented by different shades of brown, gray, or black. For example, if your home has green, red, yellow, or other colored siding, you have the flexibility to choose from a variety of different roof colors that will complement and accent your home's siding.
Don’t Stick Out
Many neighborhoods have a prevailing color palette of their own. Your roof color should not stick out like a sore thumb. Make sure to observe the dominant roof colors and take your cue from them.
Roof replacement experts recommend narrowing down your color options to the ones that will also match that of your neighbors’ roofs. You don’t have to choose a similar color to your neighbors’, you just need to make sure that your shingle color choice will be visually appealing to the areas surrounding your home.
