Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in North America. Asphalt shingles are popular for several solid reasons.
Advantages of Asphalt Shingles:
✅ Affordability
- Lower Upfront Cost: Asphalt shingles are much more budget-friendly than materials like metal, tile, or slate.
- Cost-Effective Repairs: Easy and inexpensive to repair or replace individual shingles.
🏠 Style & Variety
- Design Options: Available in a wide range of colors, styles, and textures—including options that mimic wood or slate.
- Blends Well: Shingles fit with both modern and historical home designs
🔧 Versatility
- Can be used on complex rooflines and steep slopes.
- Works well with most standard roofing systems and structures.
🌡️ Insulating Properties
- Asphalt shingles include insulation value, especially when paired with proper underlayment.
- Helps in regulating indoor temperatures.
🔇 Noise Reduction
- Naturally quieter during rain, hail, and wind compared to metal roofs.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Lifespan: Typically lasts 15–30 years, shorter than metal or tile.
- Weather Resistance: More prone to damage from severe weather like high winds, hail, or prolonged sun exposure.
- Maintenance: May require more frequent inspections and occasional repairs or replacements.
Color Options
Choosing the right roof color is about more than just looks—it affects your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and even resale value. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best roof color:
🧱 1. Match Your Home’s Exterior Style & Color
-
Brick Homes: Go with warm tones like brown, black, or dark grey.
-
Stone Exteriors: Choose subtle tones like dark grey or slate.
-
Siding (vinyl/wood): Coordinate with siding color—contrast for visual interest, match for cohesion.
-
Bold Exteriors: Stick with neutral roof colors to avoid clashing.
☀️ 2. Consider Our Climate
-
Hot Climates: Light colors (white, beige, light grey) reflect sunlight and reduce cooling costs.
-
Cold Climates: Dark colors (black, dark brown, dark green) absorb heat, helping with snow melt and insulation.
🏠 3. Complement the Architectural Style
-
Colonial or Traditional: Black, dark grey, or dark brown.
-
Mediterranean or Spanish: Terracotta, clay-red, or warm brown.
-
Modern or Contemporary: Metal roofs with charcoal, grey, or even bold shades like matte black.
-
Cottage or Craftsman: Earthy tones like moss green, rust, or weathered wood.
🌳 4. Account for Your Surroundings
-
If you're surrounded by trees or in a valley, earth tones blend well.
-
Consider the neighborhood—HOAs often have rules or aesthetic norms.
🧮 5. Think Long-Term Maintenance
-
Lighter roofs show stains less (good in areas with algae or moss).
-
Darker roofs may fade faster in strong sunlight.
🏷️ 6. Check Resale Value
Neutral and classic colors (gray, black, brown) tend to have wider appeal, which helps with resale.
