How to Find the Perfect Asphalt Shingle Colors for Your Roof

Most homeowners in the United States choose asphalt shingles for their roofs. Not only is this roofing material economical and practical but it also works on a lot of traditional home styles.

In this blog, roofing professionals share top tips for finding the best color for your brand-new asphalt shingles.

Consider What You Already Have

Replacing your roof with the same color and design you already have is generally the safest choice. Builders select the best roofing material for a home based on its architectural style, structural support, location and overall color palette.

Factor in Home Colors

Do not let your roof stick out like a sore thumb. Ideally, you want it to be part of your home’s color composition. For example, if you have black siding and white trim, you can bring more depth and drama to your home by adding a black roof. A hunter green exterior with reddish brown accents pairs well with a deep gray roof.

Strive for Dimension

A single-colored shingle roof can look flat at times. For a little bit of dimension and flair, choose shingles that have enough variation in color but not too much that it looks like a checkerboard.

Take a Look at Your Neighborhood

If you still have not decided on anything, consider taking a quick stroll around your neighborhood and checking out the roofs for some inspiration. Find a shingle color that harmonizes. Make sure the primary color you select complies with the rules of your homeowners association.

Your roof does not have to look dull and tired.

Patriot Roofing came out and replaced my roof, window wraps, gutters, and siding twice after last year’s hail storms. Matt and Brandon were always available and could not have been more professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Matt even came to the insurance inspection to make sure they didn’t miss anything! The work was done quickly and my house was back to its former glory within weeks. On the backside, Kaylee put so much time into getting my insurance to pay what was needed and I was really happy to be able to hand that off to someone else. Really great experience overall!

Gavin's crew was awesome. They were well prepared, skilled and easily delt with any unexpected issues. Old square vents were removed, and 5 new dome vents were installed. The finished job looks great, and the shingle match is exact.

Patriot roofing is a good dependable and professional roofing company. Matt who works for Patriot roofing explained the process to me on the costs of the roof and help me with my home insurance during that situation. The roof shingles on the house looks so good and they also replace my sunroom roof too. I almost forgot they also do flat roofs I have a addition to my house that has a flat roof. They did a wonderful job. I would recommend them to any one who needs a roof replacement . Plus they also did vinyl siding to my addition to the house. Thank you Matt . If I need my roof replaced again I will give them a call again. They are really excellent at what they do.

Bobby was fantastic, came earlier than scheduled for the inspection, helped us file the claim, and got all the work done in a timely manner!

These folks were great from beginning to end. Inspected my roof and told me what they found and how they would repair it and bring it up to today's code. The workers were on time and polite. No problems, zero hassle, would recommend to anyone.

Very prompt and courteous. Matt explained each step of the process before they started and made sure that the site was clean after the repairs. Kaylee did an excellent job of explaining the supplemental requests. I had to use their services on twice last year and they have been amazing to work with on both occasions.

I would recommend Patriot Roofing to friends and family. They did great work in the time frame that was agreed upon. Most importantly there was no problems with communication between Patriot Roofing, our insurance company and us. A wonderful job.

I worked with Ron L. to replace our roof after the April 2021 hail storm. He has an easy demeanor, quickly responds and professional. Our roof was installed without issue, and we will continue to use Patriot for all of our exterior needs. From the office staff to the guys who are out on the ground, you will not be dissapointed with your service.

Wes was good to work with. Repairs due to wind/hail. Replaced roof, added new decking, replaced siding and one window. Due to the size of the storm and damage, it took awhile to get everything done. The roof was done first, then siding, window was last. Everything was done in a workman like manner. Had a leak around skylight, and it was repaired in a timely manner.

We had our roof, gutters, garage door, and other miscellaneous repairs done by Patriot following a 3" hail storm in Norman in 2021. The staff were professional, the repairs were high quality, and communications were clear through the beginning. They made the process of completing the insurance claim and finalizing things painless and easy.

Bobby was responsive, kind, and willing to work with us. Actually spent time inspecting our damage to ensure he was best able to advise. It was by far the best costumer service we had received out of all roofing companies we spoke with. Once we decided and were able to move forward with the repairs, Bobby was able to get us on the schedule and quickly repair the damage. Will be using them again in the future should we ever need additional repair or roof replacement.

Patriot Roofing did excellent work on my roof. The roofers were professional, quick, and courteous. Ron Latham, as the project manager, was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Ron kept me informed throughout the process and offered assistance with roof repairs for my small sheds as well.

Erica is absolutely one of the best employees of this company. She is articulate, respectful, kind, and honest. She answers the phone and is attentive to the customers concerns and responds in a timely manner with information. She is an incredible liaison between customers and ‘managers’. Without her, this installation would have had a very different outcome.Avery was on site and assisted with communication. Any concerns expressed were addressed with roofing installation experts immediately. His articulate manner was reassuring to me through the entire project.Kaylee stepped up as a good manager. When asked, she reviewed her notes orally that she had been documenting through the our entire conversation.The actual installation gentlemen were respectful of my home and property. Truly gentlemen that speak highly of their immediate supervisor that directs day to day operations. I was very fortunate with the last two men on my property. They ‘crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s’ so I was very pleased with the last few items necessary to complete the production. (I’m sorry, I don’t know their names.)Every job has a few bumps but communication solved each concern.
