Shingle Selections

 When choosing roofing shingles, you can consider things like: 

• Climate Shingles that are suited to your area's weather patterns and climate are important. For example, dark colors absorb more sunlight than lighter colors, but studies show that the difference in temperature between an attic with a dark roof and one with a light roof is only 8–10°F. 

• Energy efficiency Lighter-colored standing-seam metal roofs can prevent thermal absorption, making them more energy efficient & less expensive in the long run. 

• Color contrast The amount of contrast between your roof and siding can create a different look for your home. Less contrast can create a more subtle look, while more contrast can create a more dramatic look. 

• High-definition shingles High-definition shingles can add more texture, depth, and color variation to your home's exterior than standard shingles. However, they can be more expensive. 

• Your home's  appearance can consider matching your shingles to your home's siding and other exterior components to create an aesthetically pleasing look. 

Other things to consider include: 

• Dimension: Asphalt shingles that look the same can appear flat once installed, so you can consider shingles with slight color variations to add some dimension. 

• Your budget: You can find high-quality and durable shingles at different price points.
