How To Choose a Roof Color: Timeless Styles for Curb Appeal

Installing a new roof on your home raises plenty of questions: What kind of materials should you use? How much will it cost? When will the project be done? However, one question that’s often overlooked is what color you want for your roof.

In this blog post, Chase Remodeling will discuss how to choose a roof color for your home.

Factors To Consider When Choosing a Roof Color

The roof color is more important than most homeowners realize, especially in regard to the overall look of the home. Before deciding on a roof color, you should consider these factors:

• Your home’s architecture: If your home looks more traditional than modern, for example, you’ll likely find success choosing a roof color that doesn’t contrast too harshly with the rest of your home.
• Your home’s siding and color scheme: You want to ensure your roof will complement your existing color scheme.
• Your hardscaping and landscaping: Both of these elements contribute to the overall color scheme of your home, so you should consider them when assessing your roof.
• Your HOA’s rules: Some homeowners associations have strict rules regarding what color you can choose for your roof, so check with your HOA first to avoid any fines.
• Your climate: If you want your home to be as energy-efficient as possible, consider getting a roof color that will either help it retain heat or reflect it, depending on your climate.

Timeless Roof Color Options

While some people love choosing a roof color that stands out from the rest of their neighborhood, most people simply want something that feels timeless and matches their architecture. The main color examples that fall into this category are various shades of gray, brown, and black.

Gray is a good neutral color that works well with darker siding, particularly cool-toned colors like blues. Black can provide great contrast for lighter siding, especially white siding, while brown can complement earthy tones like light greens and beiges.

Tips for Choosing Your Roof Color

Follow these tips to choose the right roof color for your home:

• Work with a skilled roofing contractor with access to many colors and materials: You don’t want your selection to be limited just because your contractor is.
• Get samples of your roofing material in your chosen color: You don’t want to choose your color based on a picture. Your roofing contractor should be able to provide actual material samples in different colors.
• Hold your material samples up to different areas of your exterior: Look at how the color looks against your siding, your front door, and other areas of your home exterior. Do this at different times of the day to see how it looks when the amount of sunlight differs.
• Look at the roofs in your neighborhood: Take note of any you like and any you dislike, and keep in mind how your roof might look in comparison.
