How to Select a Color for Your Roof

You've decided what type of new roof you want, but you can't decide on a color? Here are some things to consider when making this important decision.

  • Request a full shingle sample in the colors you like the best.
  • An entire roof looks quite different from a shingle sample. Let us know what colors you like and we can refer you to homes with the same product and color.
  • Consider viewing the roof under several different weather conditions and times of day. A roof will look different in direct sunlight, filtered sunlight, and overcast conditions.
  • The pitch of your roof will also have an impact on the overall color. Try to view a home with a similar roof pitch as your own home.
