As a local contractor and a PABCO Roofing Preferred Pro Contractor, we at MJB Trades understand the importance of selecting the right asphalt shingle for your home. It's a decision that only comes around a few times in a homeowner's life, and it can feel overwhelming. We're here to guide you through the process, helping you make a choice that you'll be happy with for many years.
Questions to Consider When Selecting Asphalt Shingle Colors
1. Will You Be Staying or Selling?
Are you planning to stay in your home for the foreseeable future, or do you have plans to sell? If you’re planning to stay, choose a roof color that complements your house color. If selling is on your horizon, opting for a neutral color like Antique Black, Pewter Gray, or Weathered Wood from PABCO Roofing Products is a wise choice. These neutral colors appeal to a broader range of potential buyers and can match various house colors.
2. What’s the Purpose of Your Roof Color?
Consider what you want to achieve with your roof color. For smaller homes, a unique roof color can make your home stand out. For brick facades, a pewter gray roof can subtly complement the patchwork of colors. Homes in wooded areas look harmonious with PABCO Premier® Oakwood shingles, and historic homes shine with Cascade™ diamond-shaped shingles in Antique Black. Decide if you want your roof to be the main visual feature or to blend into your home's overall style.
3. Are You Focused on Energy Efficiency?
In warmer climates where air conditioning use is high, consider PABCO’s Premier Radiance® shingles. These shingles reflect the sun’s rays, making your home more comfortable. Premier Radiance shingles come in lighter hues but also offer neutral tones like cool pewter gray or cool black, suitable for energy efficiency without compromising on aesthetics.
