Selecting the right look for your roof is an important but often overlooked consideration. Your roof is designed to last for 30 or 40 years and some roofing systems are now designed to last a lifetime! You want to choose a style you will enjoy and that complements your home for a very long time.
We have a variety of colors and styles to choose from by CertainTeed™ – a leader in roofing systems. These roofing materials will not only protect your home from the harshest weather, but they will also make your house look great! Whether you prefer a simple, timeless look, or something more decorative, Harvey Remodeling can guide you through your choices and simplify your selections process.
Colors matter when you are trying to create a certain design style for your home. Maybe you want to match a traditional historical look, or opt for more reflective shingle palette choice. CertainTeed™ has a wide array of color selections – from solid black to red and more!
The first thing to consider when choosing a roofing style is the pitch of your home’s roof. A roof’s pitch affects the way you see its colors. As a starting point, look at actual houses where the house and roof color combinations are similar to what you are considering.
Please see below for information and photos of today’s most popular roofing types. Whether you prefer a simple, timeless look, or something more decorative, Harvey Remodeling can show you your choices and guide you through your selections process.
