What to Consider When Choosing an Asphalt Shingle Roof

It’s hard to go wrong with an asphalt shingle roof. It’s the leading roofing option for American homes for a reason and it’s a great way to make sure you address your roofing needs. But what kind of asphalt shingle roof should you be getting exactly? Residential roofing service provider Timberland Exteriors™ offers these considerations to help guide you:

• What You Already Have – Many homeowners simply get brand-new versions of their current roofing systems, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you already have an asphalt shingle roof then, take note of what you like about it. This will give you a good starting point for the selection process. If you are making the switch to an asphalt shingle roof, being mindful of what worked for you with your old roof will also help.
• Your Neighborhood – When choosing a roof color, it’s a good idea to look at the bigger picture beyond your home. Use the surrounding roof colors to help you gauge what will make your home stand out will still complement other properties along your street after hail storm damage restoration.

You should also check with your homeowners’ association, if you are part of one, regarding any roofing color guidelines they might have. As a general rule, however, dark roofs go with light-colored siding and vice versa.
