When your roof can no longer be repaired or when the expenses associated with its continued maintenance become too high, it is often more affordable in the long run to replace it entirely. One upside to getting a new roof is that you can completely transform the look of your home just by choosing a new roofing color.
To help you choose the best roofing color for your home, residential roofing contractor Roofer Chicks® lists three important factors you should consider.
1. Climate
The color of your shingles can cause a 20- to 40-degree difference in the temperature of your attic. This can make a significant impact on your home’s heating and cooling costs. In warmer climates, light-colored shingles are usually recommended because they deflect sunlight and help keep temperatures down. Dark shingles, on the other hand, are widely known to absorb more heat, so they are ideal for keeping homes in colder climates warm.
2. Architectural Style
Darker colors will make your home appear smaller while lighter colors will make your home seem larger. Look around your neighborhood and see what roof color is used on homes with a similar style to yours. This will give you a better idea of what will look good on your home. It’s also good to ask your roofing contractor for a professional opinion.
3. Color Coordination
You should also make sure that the color you choose for your roof will go with your home’s exterior color scheme. If you intend to change the colors of your home’s exterior eventually, you should choose a roofing color that will complement your new color palette. This ensures that there is consistency from one area of your home to the next.
