Why Your Asphalt Roof’s Color Matters

The material and thickness of your roof aren’t the only factors you should consider when looking for a new roofing system. It’s also important to choose the color of your roof wisely. Read on to find out why.

Why Does Roof Color Matter?

You should be careful with your choice of shingle color as it will significantly affect the appearance of your home. Both light and dark shingles have distinct advantages that make either of them worth considering, but the best option boils down to your specific needs.

Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a shingle color:

• Pick lighter-colored shingles to make a one-story home look bigger.
• Pick darker shingles if you want your home to stand out.
• Install light-colored shingles for your next roof replacement if you live in an area with a generally hot climate. This is because light shingles help deflect solar heat effectively, keeping your living space more comfortable.
• For homes in colder climates, keep in mind that a dark-colored roof can help absorb heat better, which helps keep your home warmer and cozier during the cold months.
• If your home has a light palette, you can utilize dark shingles to add contrast to your home’s design. You can use light-colored shingles if your home’s siding is dark, for better contrast.
