You always need to hire an experienced roofing company to handle this work- better safe than sorry. Too many construction accidents happen from heights. Additionally, you want to abide by these tips to guarantee the smoothest process possible.

Color Combinations

— Light roofs- Light-colored roofs pair well with light-colored siding on smaller homes by helping them appear larger. Light roofs also assist in energy usage by reflecting sunlight. Keep in mind that lighter colored roofs may need a bit more maintenance, especially if your home is under trees.

— Pairing warms and cools- Consider complementing, rather than matching, your roof and siding colors. By pairing warm-toned siding with cool-toned roofing, you create a balanced look. Typically, a yellow home looks nice with a grey roof.

Remember, these are general design rules. The style of your home, architectural touches, and landscaping all make a difference. Some homes “break” these design guidelines and still look great! And, not all sidings are uniform in color. Similar to stone you choose for your countertops, a roofing material may have flecks of different tones. Your contractor will sit with you and help you decide on a roof color that feels most homey to you.
