Help! Need help choosing new roof color!
Comments (11)I know what you mean, we do like the color that is on it now, but would like something a little different to look at.....it sure is hard to choose....in the brown family there are so many! We found an aged redwood color we kinda like will have to see what it looks like on an actual shingle to know for sure....I know any brown would work, and being the house is really a neutral color it shouldn't be as hard as I am making it....just don't want to make a BIG mistake!!! Thanks!...See MoreHelp choosing roof color.
Comments (21)What a lovely home! Check out pages 6-9 of this PDF for some good background then see if any lightbulbs go off. https://www.davinciroofscapes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/color-schemes.pdf Take a drive around a the nicest neighborhood near you and look for a home of the same general color and style as yours, chances are they had help choosing and you may find something that resonates with you. Opinion: Since your home is large, you could benefit from some darker contrast. Brown would go great with your hand rails and really make your door pop. Maybe a couple blue planters at ground level on either side of the front stairs, to tie it together. in the same I can't tell what color your lightpost is, but that's easy to spray paint or powder coat to match. If you live in an area that gets any wind, GAF Timberline HDZ is an excellent product. As to color, different ones are available in different regions. I would say Shakewood would be warm and cozy or Barkwood would be dramatic and elegant. (Teak, mentioned above would be a bold and suitable choice. I get the sense that Driftwood would be a little chaotic for you; it's very nice but has diverse colorations and you seem to like a more tidy style.)

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. Before: After Good luck!...See MoreHelp Choosing Roof Color for my English Tudor
Comments (7)I like weathered wood. It is a more “neutral” brown IMO and not too dark. We used weathered wood on four rental properties a few years ago and they look great still. None are Tudor style, so I can’t help you with photos. Do you have samples you can hold up next to your house? That’s the best way to see how they will look....See MoreKim S
