When homeowners replace a roof, the color gets less thought than it deserves. The roof can be a third or more of what you see from the street, so the right color can make the whole exterior look updated, and the wrong one can clash with brick you are not going to change.
Not sure what shape your roof is in?
Free inspection scheduled within 24 hours. Free, with photos you keep.
Start with what is not changing
Brick and stone are usually permanent, so choose the roof to work with them:
Then the siding and trim
Look at real samples, outside
Shingle colors look very different on a screen, in a showroom and on a roof in Texas sun. Hold samples against the brick at different times of day, and drive by a house in your area that has the color you are considering.
Think about heat
Darker shingles absorb more heat. With good attic ventilation, that difference is manageable, but if the house already runs hot upstairs, a lighter or cool-rated color can help.
What looks good to buyers
If you might sell, neutral colors that match the neighborhood appeal to the most buyers. A newer roof shows in listing photos and removes an item from the buyer's inspection report.
HOA rules
Many North Texas HOAs publish an approved list of colors and profiles. Check it before you choose, and get approval in writing before material is ordered.
