Need help choosing a shingle color for our home.
Comments (3)It is pretty hard to tell without a closer pic of the brick, but I would stick with a medium grayish color. Trying to match some of the browns and tans is a bad idea, and going too dark will make the roof stick out too much. Personally, I like the weathered wood. I would stay away from the black walnut....See MoreHelp! Need help choosing new roof color!
Comments (27)I would also spray paint the star a rusty red so it will show more. It really doesn't stand out on the brick in it's current color which looks more copper in the picture. (the copper is pretty but you need red there) I would also consider opening the bed up in front of the stairs to add flowers as well. The house is beautiful, but the landscape is what's lacking. I would actually post a thread in the landscape forum to get some ideas of how you can build the landscape up a little. Put a plan together and just do a little bit every season.....See MoreHelp Choosing Shingle Color & Ideas to Add Curb Appeal to Our House?
Comments (4)Hmmm...neither of those shingle colors look right to me. It could just be my screen, but the top one looks like it could have a little blue undertone, and the bottom one looks a bit red. Is the brick mortar more gray...or more gray than it looks on my screen? If so, I'd stick with gray for the roof as long as it has no blue. Gray roofs with brick are usually nice. Agree there's not much room for properly sized shutters. You could beef up the window trim instead. BTW, the roof color in your third photo looks good. Maybe stick with something close to that....See MoreHello! I need help choosing a roof color and siding color.
Comments (1)I'd confirm available colors in each brand before making a decision - we were going to go with Mission Brown, which per the website is available in our area, but due to Covid, they had reduced their colors down to a handful. This was 4-5 months ago so things have maybe changed. Good to know before you get your hopes up as we did. We ended up with Weathered Wood and we like it a lot as well.
