Roofing Ideas for Your Next Roof Replacement

A roof replacement is the one chance in 20 years to change how the top of your house looks. Most people put back what they had. Here are some ideas worth considering first.

Not sure what shape your roof is in?

Free inspection scheduled within 24 hours. Free, with photos you keep.

Designer shingles

Heavier, thicker shingles that imitate slate or hand-split shake give a house a more custom look without the weight and cost of real slate or wood. Lines like GAF Camelot and Grand Manor and CertainTeed Belmont are common on higher-end homes in North Texas.

Metal accents

Standing-seam metal over a front porch, bay window or entry, with shingles on the main roof, adds contrast and a modern farmhouse look. It costs far less than an all-metal roof.

A full metal roof

Standing-seam metal lasts decades, sheds rain and wind well, and reflects heat. It suits modern, farmhouse and rural homes. Large hail can dent it, so ask about thickness and impact ratings.

Tile

Clay and concrete tile suit Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Tile lasts a long time and handles heat, but it is heavy, needs framing designed for it, and costs more. It can crack under large hail or careless foot traffic.

Flat and low-slope roofs

On modern homes, flat or low-slope sections create clean lines. They need a membrane like TPO, careful drainage design, and regular maintenance to keep water from ponding. White membranes reflect heat well.

Color ideas

  • Charcoal or black shingles with white siding for a crisp modern farmhouse look
  • Weathered wood or brown blends with red or orange brick
  • Cool grays with gray or white brick and dark trim
  • Two-tone roofs, like black metal accents on a charcoal shingle roof
  • Practical upgrades to pair with a new look

  • Impact-resistant shingles, which hold up better to hail and can lower insurance premiums
  • Ridge vents and balanced ventilation
  • New seamless gutters in a color that matches the new trim
  • Updated skylights, if you have them
  • Before you decide
