Exploring the Connections Between Your Roof and Curb Appeal

Your roof makes up more than 50% of your home’s curb appeal. This makes it all the more important to choose the right material, style and color as well as a reputable roofing company when you’re planning a roof replacement. It is such a major component of every home in both functionality and aesthetics that you’ll want to tackle any roofing work with proper and detailed planning.

How does your roof affect your curb appeal? The answer to this question can be categorized into three main parts. Let our roofing experts at American Roofing & Construction, LLC explain the visual contributions a roof makes to your home.

Roof Pitch

Selecting the right roofing material is always an integral part of any re-roofing project. However, as any roofer would advise you, do not neglect its actual construction. The pitch of your roof, as much as the materials that make it up or the shades that color it, can make a statement about your home. It could work well with the rest of your exterior design, or it could clash against them spectacularly.

Shingle Colors

Additionally, colors can also make or break the appearance of your roof and, by extension, your home. In the past, most roofing colors are pretty much limited to dark hues. Today, you now have the freedom to choose from a wider palette of shades that can match with any architectural style your home may have. It’s also important to note that colors can have an effect on your energy efficiency, so it’s important to talk to your roofing professional about color recommendations before making any decision.

Other Considerations

You can use design as a limiting factor to narrow down your list of choices, however, you must also take into consideration its functionality. A beautiful roof that needs frequent roof repair in short periods of time is definitely not a practical choice. Find a material that can stand the test of time without having to sacrifice any aesthetic qualities.
