Design Inspiration at Your Fingertips

When you are thinking about replacing your roof, it’s important not to overlook the impact it can have as a major design element.  With a typical home’s roof representing up to 40 percent of its exterior, selecting the right roofing shingle color can make a big difference on the overall exterior aesthetic.

Increasingly homeowners are using color in unique ways to enhance the curb appeal of their home – including their roof. If you look around your own neighborhood, you’ll probably see the move away from cookie-cutter houses sharing the same muted roofing colors and towards more high-impact color palettes and differentiated shapes that deliver exceptional beauty, style and performance.
