How to Choose the Right Roof & Siding Colors for Your Home

Choosing the right roofing and siding colors is one of the most exciting parts of your home improvement project. The colors you select can enhance curb appeal, complement your home’s architecture, and even increase resale value.

At Barringer Brothers Roofing, we make the process simple by providing helpful tools, professional guidance, and real-world examples to help you choose with confidence.

Choose Colors Before Contract

Your roofing and siding colors will need to be finalized before your contract is completed and materials are ordered. Taking a little extra time to compare options now helps ensure you’re happy with your decision for years to come.

Browse Colors Online

A great place to start is the CertainTeed color visualizer. After approving your estimate, we’ll provide a link where you can explore available roofing and siding colors, compare options, and begin narrowing down your favorites.

Be sure to enter your ZIP code while browsing. Certain products and colors are only available in specific regions, so this ensures you’re viewing the options available for your area.

View Sample Boards in Person

While online galleries are helpful, colors often look different in person. Sunlight, shade, and surrounding materials can all affect how a roof or siding color appears.

You’re always welcome to visit our office to view physical sample boards and compare colors side by side before making your final decision.

See Real Homes

One of the best ways to choose a color is by seeing it on an actual home. If you’re deciding between a few options, we can often recommend local homes with similar roofing or siding colors so you can see how they look in natural lighting and from the street.

Consider Your Entire Exterior

Rather than focusing only on your roof or siding, think about how everything works together. Your brick, stone, trim, shutters, gutters, front door, and landscaping all contribute to your home’s overall appearance.

Choosing colors that complement these features will create a more balanced and timeless look.

Consider Lighting

Lighting can dramatically change the appearance of a color. A shingle that looks dark gray on a computer screen may appear almost black in direct sunlight, while another may reveal brown, blue, or green undertones outdoors. Whenever possible, view samples outside at different times of day before making your final selection.

Think Long-Term

A new roof or siding is a long-term investment, so it’s usually best to choose colors you’ll still enjoy years from now rather than selecting something simply because it’s currently trending. Neutral, timeless colors tend to age well and complement a wider variety of home styles.

Final Color Selection

Once you’ve selected your roofing and siding colors, we’ll confirm your choices before ordering materials and moving forward with your project. Our team is always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident in your final decision.

And That’s It!

If you’re having trouble deciding, you don’t have to do it alone.

The team at Barringer Brothers Roofing is here to help you compare options, view samples, and find a color combination that fits your home and your style. Whether you’re replacing your roof, updating your siding, or completing both projects at once, we’ll help you choose colors you’ll love for years to come.
