Jacob L, love your house and that you're doing a metal roof. Awesome!

So, just to throw this out there, color choice is personal. This roof is going to cover a substantial portion of the exterior, which I think will kind of limit the color you can use on the siding.

I love the slate blue, but were it me, I'd choose something more neutral, for both you and future occupants. I might head towards the slate grey, but I went to the drexmet site to look at colors and the almond looked greenish on my monitor, so I think this is something where you have to see the actual product!

For these big purchases, I like to go and visit a house with the same color I'm considering... or at the minimum, see a large sample.... and take it outdoors into the natural light.

Are you doing the roofing yourself or hiring someone? Is it rude if I ask the price ranges you're getting from contractors? Hoping to do a roof myself in the next few years. If it's rude, feel free to say so :)

Are you repainting the house/shutters or leaving as is? Search Houzz for metal roofs and see what color schemes you like......

Below are a few....see if anything catches your eye....

We need to know if the siding/shutters are staying as is, or if either one is changing. If you change the shutters to blue, I think you can do the slate blue roof. If the shutters stay maroon, then I would suggest Colonial Red. I agree that if you are selling in the next few years, I would go more neutral. I am loving the Dark Bronze color too, and you could totally do that if you paint your shutters dark brown. Near where I live, there is a house with bright red tin and light tan siding with white trim and it looks great!

Plan is to keep the siding and shutters as-is for now. Though, obviously, new shutters are a pretty cheap option down the line. Also, planning to stay in this home long-term, which is partly why we're putting a metal roof on.

I don't want to say my price mostly because my new roof requires a complete tear-off to the rafters, which definitely skews the cost substantially. I'll say that without that contemplated, I think the metal roof cost was about 2 - 2.5x the cost of asphalt.

I have looked at metal roofs on Houzz, but unfortunately, the colors look slightly different in photos. Makes me anxious that the color chart isn't entirely accurate. And there also just aren't many photos of each of these colors online... :(

I go back-and-forth on color vs. neutral... I tend to think the house could use more color, but people are free to disagree with me.

The blue color could look amazing but I'm afraid I'd tire of it as it would somewhat limit other color choices. I agree that the house could use a bit more color, but I'd stay neutral on the roof and add the color and add architectural interest through new landscaping.

Chiming in again-I still think bronze would look rich and bold. You could try it with the existing maroon shutters, and paint them later if you don't like it. I am an earthy color palette girl, and my own home is dark tan siding, brownish/gray roof and off white trim, shakes on portion of the front and I love it.

I googled "bronze tin roof" and found tons of ideas. Here are a couple

I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you pick, really. I have seen homes with the red roofs and the brighter blue roofs, as well as the almond. They all look great! Love that if you put a metal roof on, you're pretty much set for life! You can look into energy savings if that is an interest or concern, as I believe lighter colors are preferable for that (may depend on your climate).

Thank you for the info on costs! Much appreciated :)
