Choosing the right roof shingle and color

Being in a business where your decisions are with you for decades, we know how important it is for our homeowners to have piece of mind when selecting the style color and material of a new roof-they are guaranteed to last at least 20 years after all. We guarantee the best products and also we understand that is meaningless if we fail to hit your end goal-whether it be to make your home a place you're proud of or to skyrocket your curb appeal for when you decide to put your home on the market. 

We closely follow the GAF blog and have found it to be an excellent resource to help you make the right choice! 

Here highlights the top three important factors in choosing your new roof: 

• Architectural Style
• Roof Pitch
• Color Palate 

1. Architectural Style: In today's roofing works you have a vast variety of shingles to choose from-it isn't your standard flat, classic shingle-you can add some dimension, a pop of color or even find asphalt shingles that mimic more expensive materials without losing the durability of asphalt-like slate or wood.

2. Roof Pitch: in the video, it is explained that a low roof pitch looks best with a shingle that has a thicker dimension. A steeper pitched roof tends to be more flexible with unique, aesthetically pleasing shingles. 

3. Exterior Color Palate: Lastly, you should go with a roof design that compliments the existing color palate of your home. Most importantly however, is a shade that matches your taste! Leading manufacturers have some great online resources to test your ideal materials against your own home-we have linked a great tool to our webpage under the tab titled"Virtual Home Designer", through GAF.
