Asphalt shingle roofing continues to be one of the most reliable roof systems, so it wouldn’t really be a surprise if you still prefer the same type of roof when it’s time to replace your old one. Of course, this does not necessarily mean getting the same exact roof. You can give your home a fresh look by selecting a different color for your asphalt shingles.
In this post, roof replacement specialists at Next Level Roofers share some tips on how you can make the right choice when it comes to asphalt shingle colors.
Local Climate
This is usually one of the first considerations when choosing a roofing material. However, roof material is not the only factor that could affect a roof’s performance in a specific region. You also have to take the roof color into account simply because black or darker shades are known to attract and retain heat, which can make your attic hotter. Meanwhile, lighter colors often do a better job of reflecting the sun and keeping your interior cool. So if you live in a place that mostly experiences a warm climate, you might want to stick to light-colored roofing.
Variation
Roofers may suggest you get shingles with a slight variation in color in order to add some dimension to your new roof. Single-colored shingles tend to look flat, like a checkerboard. So to prevent your roof from looking dull or boring, you should consider shingles that slightly vary in hue.
Color Palette
Make sure that the new color of your shingles fits the color scheme of your home’s exterior. Otherwise, your roof might only stick out like a sore thumb. Keep in mind that asphalt shingle color is also a design choice, so you have to ensure it looks good on your home and helps enhance curb appeal.
