Residential metal roofing quadrupled its market share over the past decade. Needless to say, it has been one of the fastest growing aspects of home improvement. While other types of roofing degrade in value as time goes by, metal roofing provides sustainability and long-lasting benefits. However, we all know that function isn’t the only thing homeowners want. It’s also necessary to increase curb appeal to improve attractiveness and property value in the future. And, what’s more exciting than choosing a color from a wide range of palettes available today?
Advantages of a Metal Roof

A colorful way to make your home complement the neighborhood
Choosing the Roof Color
There is an abundance of available color choices, and it’s natural to desire to pick the right choice. Consider practical and aesthetic aspects linked with various colors.
-
Quality of paint. High-quality paint that can withstand the test of time and seasons is the first thing you should consider. Special acrylic resin treatment blocks ultraviolet (UV) light and prevents the paint from corrosion, peeling and premature aging.
-
Style of your home. Of course, you don’t want your house to stand out for the wrong reasons. Carefully consider the elements on your siding, windows and even landscape when deciding which tints or shades to dominate your roof with.
-
Trends in your neighborhood. The “unwritten aesthetics rule” is a thing for roofs, too. If you haven’t completely decided on what color to pick, you might want to stroll around the area and get a sense of what’s popular in your neighborhood.
-
Energy efficiency. Who knew you can save on monthly energy bills by choosing the right roof color? Lighter colors like baby blue, off pink and white chalk reflect sun’s heat better than dark colors so it’s best to choose them. But if you live in areas with cooler climate, getting a dark-colored roof won’t affect your home ventilation as much.
