Roof Shingles Help

4 years ago

Hi everyone!

we are in the process of getting our roof done and we are really stuck on what colour to use for the shingles. We are using Owens Corning Tru Definition Duration and are thinking a brown or gray but are really having trouble deciding. Would love any suggestions!

Thank you!

Here's a varieted light and dark gray roof with some red/gold in the mix. Remove the shutters for a more updated look.

A gray roof would be nice. I would keep the shingles more of a solid color so they’re not too busy with the brick. Agree with no shutters.

If you go solid, charcoal/reddish brown would echo your bricks. Get good size samples to put up against your exterior, including the trim.
