Increasing Your Curb Appeal With a New Roof

GET A FREE INSPECTION

The right roof is functional and helps prevent leaks, but it also has the right look and color to complement or contrast with other elements of your home, creating a stunning overall appearance.

Your roof has a big job to do. It is the first line of defense your home has against rain, snow, hail, winds and other elements. It keeps your interior in good shape and can even help prevent mold in your attic. Beyond that, your roof can help you control your energy bills by keeping the cold and heat out, and helping you maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.

Since your roof can take up more than half of the surface area people see when they look at your house, it also has a dramatic impact on the overall aesthetic of your home. The size, shape, color and material of your roof impact the appearance of your entire property.

How Does Roof Color Affect Curb Appeal?

Curb appeal is the impression your home makes on visitors or potential buyers. Roofs have a big impact on curb appeal, but unfortunately, problems with the roof can create a negative first impression that can be hard to erase.

If your roof has moss, stains, missing shingles or other visible issues, this can make your whole property look unkempt. With potential buyers, especially, they may not be able to look past a poorly maintained roof, even if the rest of the property is gorgeous. A beautiful roof creates a great first impression and lets visitors focus on all the amenities of the house. An attractive roof suggests a well-cared-for home and pulls the whole look of your property together.

When choosing the right color for your roof, consider the color of your siding. A contrasting color creates a very pleasing appearance. If possible, consider matching your roof color to a small feature on your property. Matching your roof color to your trim, shutter color, door color or other, smaller parts of your home creates a pulled-together look.

Should You Update Your Roof?

You may want to change the look of your roof and curb appeal of your property if:

  • Your roof is past its life expectancy.
  • You are selling and want to improve the value of your home.
  • Shingles are falling off, you have leaks or you see other signs of a failing roof.
  • Your interior ceilings and walls are affected by leaks and other roof problems.
  • Parts of the roof, such as the flashing, are in poor shape.

If you notice any of these issues, contact RoofClaim for a roof inspection.

What To Consider.

  1. Choose the right color: The color of your roof can make a big difference in how it looks from the street. Consider the color of your home and the surrounding landscape when choosing a color for your new roof. Neutral colors like black, gray, or brown tend to be popular choices.
  2. Consider the material: There are many different roofing materials available, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Some popular options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile. Consider the style of your home, your budget, and your climate when choosing a material.
  3. Add some texture: Textured roofing materials, like shingles with a 3D effect, can add dimension to your roof and make it more visually interesting.
  4. Think about the details: Don't overlook the details when it comes to your new roof. Consider adding some decorative elements, like copper flashing or ornate gutters, to give your home a more polished look.
  5. Keep it well-maintained: A new roof can improve your curb appeal, but only if it's well-maintained. Make sure to have your roof inspected regularly and take care of any repairs or maintenance issues promptly. This will ensure that your new roof continues to look great for years to come.
