Help! Roof color choice :-)

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

I am doing a roof replacement with CertainTeed Landmark or Landmark Pro Arch. shingles. I've looked at a couple of colors and wondering if anything other than plain "black" would be a better choice. I'm going to have to make a decision quickly and hope to get some additional "eyes" before I do. Some of the colors I've seen are:

1. Heather Blend

2. Driftwood

3. Weathered wood

4. Moire Black

5. Charcoal black.

Thanks!

What actual color is your brick - pink like the second pic or more orange like the 3rd?

I would get a sample of 2 and 3 and 4 to see which looks better with your brick so you know what it will look like. To me, Weathered Wood is a good choice with your existing colors but you need to have a sample in hand to see how it looks. This color above is the CertainTeed Landmark Weathered Wood as shown on my computer monitor. Best to have it in person.

This pic below is of the Driftwood color from CertainTeed Landmark. Very similar to Weathered Wood. I'm sure the color difference would show up (more pronounced) if you have the samples.

I would choose 4 or 5. Drive around your neighborhood or an area with new houses like yours to get an idea of what the other colors might look like.

Thanks Danita. I just took another picture that is more accurate. it's a pinkish brick, but the mortar has a little color to it.

Nope. That's the best choice.

We noticed that CertainTeed's Thunderstorm Grey has the dark gray to black that your home shines with, but also blends in some later shades to provide nice texture and visual interest. That would be an option to consider. Good luck!

Most likely 4 or 5 will work, but do get samples to make sure you will like it first.
