Imagine giving your home a stunning makeover with just one decision. Sounds exciting, right? That’s the power of choosing the right roof shingle color for your home. Forget the notion that roof design is purely functional – it’s your opportunity to transform your home’s entire look. After all, your roof can account for up to 40% of your home’s visible exterior. That’s a massive canvas waiting for your personal touch!
By selecting the perfect shingle color, you’re not just replacing old, worn-out materials. You’re seizing an opportunity to redefine your home’s character. Whether you’re drawn to sleek modern designs, timeless classics, or something bursting with personality, your roof can make that statement. And it’s what successful roof design is all about. Because when you invest in a new roof, you shouldn’t just like the results. You should love them!
Pro Designer Tips for Finding Roof Inspiration
Roof replacements (or new roof installs) require several decisions, ranging from selecting a reliable contractor to do the job, and the perfect roofing components and shingle color. However, the perfect roof requires more than great materials; it needs a personal touch — yours. Pro Designer, Chad Esslinger, recently reroofed his own home and is sharing his tips for nailing a roof makeover packed with personal style.
As an accomplished home designer for over 25 years, Chad has had plenty of experience helping homeowners explore color palettes and creating high-end designs with stunning results. But when it came to his own home, Chad went through the same uncertainties as any homeowner.
“What shingle color should I choose for my home?”
“How will I know it will look good after the project is complete?”
Having already completed other home exterior updates, Chad had an idea of what roof color he wanted for his home. To finalize his decision, he took advantage of the roof design tools from Owens Corning, ensuring his final look matched his inspiration.
