Benefits of Choosing the Right Metal Roofing Color

Metal roofing is an excellent way to enjoy a long-lasting, leak-free roof. If your asphalt shingles are in need of repair, or if you’re ready for an upgrade that will last for 30 years or more, it’s time to switch to a metal roof. Explore the benefits of a metal roof and find out how to select the best color option for your home.

Why Metal Roofing?

A steel roof is durable, long-lasting and quick to install. With professional installation, steel is resistant to moisture issues, mold and other damage that is typically associated with asphalt roofing. While the upfront cost is slightly higher, the extended lifetime and reduced maintenance concerns typically make a steel roof more affordable in the long run.

Accent Your Siding

Because of the wide range of colors available with a metal roof, it can be difficult to select the ideal color choice. Your first consideration should be your siding color. Don’t select a roof color that clashes with your siding, unless you’re also planning on painting your siding. Whether you choose a matching color or a bright pop of color, your steel roof can come in virtually any color.

Improve Your Curb Appeal

A vibrant, professional roof is an eye-catching way to add curb appeal to your home. With the right color scheme, you can choose a bold roof color that really stands out. White siding with a navy blue roof, or a green roof with warm brown siding are just a few options of popular outdoor color schemes.

Work With a Professional

Ask your contractor for more inspirational ideas. Don’t forget to look at your neighbors and consider any local zoning laws. Some communities have color requirements for their roofing and siding.
