Unlike choosing a paint color ( which can be change easily) you will have to live with the roof color for at least 15 – 20 years.

Your roof is one of the most important part of your not only does it protect your home but it is a huge part of the aesthetic home.  ensure that your home looks beautiful.

1.     Where do you  live?  When choosing a roof color for your home – take in consideration your climate. A light color roof deflects sunlight and help keep temperatures down in hotter climates, – some studies state the percentage is so minuscule  (2%) you don’t feel the difference . Hey! I am from Florida – I will take the 2%.

If you are going with aesthetics then –  a dark gray or black roof will look good with a gray or blue house while. A beige or yellow home looks great with a desert tan.

 

2.   Your architectural style – a dark color will make your home appear smaller, conversely a light color gives the appearance of a larger home

 

3.  Do you have a BOLD or QUIRKY  –  Personality, let it show  and pick an unusual color combination for your home. Check out the new Owens Corning Color https://www.owenscorning.com/roofing/design-inspire/color-of-the-year   

Just a word of caution , when picking roof color, think about how long you plan on living in the home and resale value. If you are not thinking of living there for a long time, pick a safe neatral color and maybe upgrade to a Metal Roof.

 

4. Neighborhood and Community     Some Homeowners association have specific requirements for the type of roof that the home owner can install.

My Florida Roofing was phenomenal, always on time and detail oriented. Very knowledgeable on the different types of roofs and options. Felix and Maria, picked up the phone immediately and always answered my questions. The owner Rene was on site frequently looking over the job. They were also the best priced and were even recommended by other roofing companies. Very happy with the outcome.

Having my roof done by My Florida Roofing has been nothing less than an excellent experience. The entire team has been super professional and attentive from the beginning. From the office team who handles the paperwork/permits and customer service and quickly sets up appointments; to Felix, our very knowledgeable and courteous sales rep, who was in constant contact throughout the project time, to give us updates and check up on us; to the installers who did an amazing job; to the owner who made sure to personally come and inspect before, during and after the roof was installed. Everyone did an outstanding job. Now let's talk about GOING ABOVE & BEYOND: Maria - the project manager. She was absolutely the person that made the entire process smooth and easy. She was always available to answer any questions and to give me updates (Maria - you are amazing- thank you!) We love our new roof. I am thrilled we decided to use My Florida Roofing. Thank you! I totally recommend this company and to anyone who needs to come by and see our roof we are at Lindsey Lanes - Vero Beach (house will be painted off-white soon, but for now is Yellow) - See photo for reference.
