At Sangobuild, we’re here to help you make the right choice. Our team has gathered a few essential tips to help you find the roof color that truly fits your style and your home.
*1. Match Your Home’s Exterior Style*
Your roof makes up about *40%* of your home’s exterior, making it a major design element. When choosing a color, consider your home’s architectural style to create a cohesive look with your paint, trim, and siding.
*2. Select a Color (and Material) that Boosts Curb Appeal and Resale Value*
The right roof color doesn’t just enhance your home’s style–it also boosts curb appeal and increases resale value. But while color is important, selecting the right material is just as crucial. Metal roofing lasts between 30 and 60 years. Plus, modern stone-coated metal roofing replicates the look of nearly any roofing material while offering superior durability against extreme weather conditions.
*3. Follow Government or Community Guidelines*
When selecting your roof color and material, be sure to check your local governmental or community regulations, as many neighborhoods have restrictions on both. These guidelines help maintain a cohesive look by preventing colors that clash with surrounding homes or materials that have a reflective sheen, which can be disruptive in a shared community. SANGOBUILD offers over 12 distinct profiles and over 30 colors to complement a wide range of architectural styles.
*4. Consider Energy Efficiency *
Your roof color does more than enhance curb appeal–it can also impact your home’s energy efficiency. Lighter-colored roofs reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, helping to keep your home cooler and reduce cooling costs in warm climates. On the other hand, darker-colored roofs absorb heat, which can be beneficial in colder regions by helping to retain warmth and lower heating costs.
*5. Get a Free Sample*
Once you’ve narrowed down your roof color choices, seeing it in person can help you make the final decision. SANGOBUILD offers complimentary samples, allowing you to compare the color against your home’s exterior to ensure it complements your paint, trim, and siding. This also gives you confidence that the actual color matches what you’ve seen online or in brochures.
