When you look for a roofing company in Berlin to get a new roof , you have many options to help you boost the look of your home. When it comes to picking a color scheme for your roof is not easy for all people. First, you must decide what type of material you want to use and then choose the color. Roofing materials will vary from metal, slate, asphalt, and more.

How Does Roof Color Affect Curb Appeal?

Curb appeal is the impression your home makes on visitors or potential buyers. Roofs have a big impact on curb appeal, but unfortunately, problems with the roof can create a negative first impression that can be hard to erase.

If your roof has moss, stains, missing shingles, or other visible issues, this can make your whole property look unkempt. With potential buyers, especially, may not be able to look past a poorly maintained roof, even if the rest of the property is gorgeous. A beautiful roof creates a great first impression and lets visitors focus on all the amenities of the house. An attractive roof suggests a well-cared-for home and pulls the whole look of your property together.

When choosing the right color for your roof, consider the color of your siding. A contrasting color creates a very pleasing appearance. If possible, consider matching your roof color to a small feature on your property. Matching your roof color to your trim, shutter color, door color or other, smaller parts of your home creates a pulled-together look. ( Pick a Color Here for Your New Roof! )

Should You Update Your Roof?

You may want to change the look of your roof and curb appeal of your property if:

  • Your roof is past its life expectancy.
  • You are selling and want to improve the value of your home.
  • Shingles are falling off, you have leaks or you see other signs of a failing roof.
  • Your interior ceilings and walls are affected by leaks and other roof problems.
  • Parts of the roof, such as the flashing, are in poor shape.

What Color and Style Do You Choose For Your Roof?

When choosing options for your new roof, you’ll want to consider all of your options when it comes to things such as roof material color, and shingle style. If you find that your house is too dull, consider choosing a complementary color scheme. Complementary colors are across from one another on the color wheel and help each color stand out on its own in a way the eyes find pleasurable. On the other hand, if you find that your house is already too colorful or busy, then tone down to use one color and multiple shades of that color. This is called the monotone color scheme. When it comes to choosing a new roofing material, make sure you view your roofing samples in different types of lighting.

Light or Dark Roof Color?

One of the more outstanding questions people are concerned about relates to the shade of roof they should choose. The main difference between light color and dark-colored roofs is that the darker shingles will absorb more heat from the sun’s rays and be about 10% hotter than the lighter shingles. If you are environmentally conscious and want to save on your cooling bills, choose a lighter color. However, there is also the reverse effect that occurs in the winter. When it comes down to it, you should pick the color you love most to go with your home because you will have to live with it for many years to come.

Shingle Style

Once you are ready to choose the hue of the shingle, take along a sample of the brick or siding to help you decide. You want the shutters, siding, and brick all to compliment your new roof. Start by comparing the shingles to your brick first and then the siding or shutters. You may find that you find a roof color that you absolutely love but it may not perfectly match your siding. In this case, you can consider painting the house or residing in it.
