My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Roof color to go with light green house in coastal south

4 years ago

We are replacing our roof (currently Owens Corning Oakridge pepper mill) on our light green cape home with white trim on the coastal south. We are planning on using an architectural shingle (with Owens Corning Landmark Pro or GAF Timberline HDZ) in gray tone but want to avoid blue undertones. Which color shingle and color would work best? Concerned about using a shingle that may be too busy.

    Charcoal gray would work.
