The best way to choose a roof color is to see the shingle on someone's roof. The color is a big choice since you'll be living under your decision for many, many years to come. We can bring in all the samples you need but, just like painting a wall, shingle color looks different on an entire roof. Peterson Roofing has literally installed thousands of roofs in the Northwest suburbs. We invite you to use our database to find a home that has installed the shingles you are considering.
Here are a few helpful tips:
In a newly constructed home you can choose any color since coordinating paint can be chosen at the same time.
When reroofing a home you'll want to choose shingles that coordinate with existing brick, siding and trim colors, unless you want to change those items as well.
Light colors tend to draw the eye.
Dark shades tend to be overlooked.
White is neutral and goes with any color and it reflects some of the heat of the sun.
Soft earth tones and woods tones are very popular.
Beyond traditional roofing tiles, Peterson Roofing carries or can get you just about any type of roofing material desired. For information on specialty roofing products please contact us directly at 847-590-5290.
