Asphalt shingles remain one of the most popular residential roofing choices because they combine durability with a wide variety of colors, profiles, and styles.

UNITED Roofing offers asphalt shingle options from GAF and IKO, giving homeowners choices ranging from classic architectural shingles to more distinctive premium and designer styles.

When comparing shingles, consider more than color alone. The collection you choose can affect the texture, dimension, and overall appearance of your finished roof.

Explore Metal Roofing Options

Metal roofing offers a distinctive appearance along with durability and long-term performance. UNITED Roofing offers residential metal roofing in both corrugated and standing seam styles, allowing homeowners to choose the combination of panel style and color that works best for their property.

The profile of the metal can have just as much visual impact as the color. Corrugated roofing creates a more traditional, recognizable metal-roof appearance, while standing seam offers cleaner lines and concealed fasteners for a streamlined look.

Corrugated metal roofing works with a variety of architectural styles, from traditional homes and cabins to farmhouses and other properties where the metal roof is intended to become a noticeable exterior feature.

Color can dramatically change its appearance. Neutral blacks, grays, and browns can create a more understated look, while green, red, and metallic finishes provide additional options.

Available colors: Light Gray, Shadow, High Gloss Black, Cocoa Brown, Antique Bronze, Brite Red, Dark Green, and Galvalume.

Standing seam metal roofing features clean vertical lines and concealed fasteners for a streamlined appearance. Depending on the color selected, it can complement everything from traditional homes and modern farmhouses to contemporary architecture.

Available colors: Evergreen, Dark Gray, Medium Bronze, Dark Bronze, and Matte Black.

How to Choose a Roof Color for Your Home

Your roof covers a significant portion of your home’s visible exterior, so color deserves careful consideration. Instead of looking at the roof by itself, consider how your selection will work with the permanent and semi-permanent elements surrounding it.

Consider Your Home's Exterior

Look at siding, brick, stone, trim, shutters, and other exterior features when comparing roof colors. Permanent materials such as brick and stone are particularly important because they are less likely to change during the life of your roof.

Think About Contrast

Your roof doesn’t necessarily need to match your home’s exterior. Contrast can help define architectural features and create a more intentional overall appearance.

Dark shingles or metal can create noticeable contrast against a lighter exterior, while complementary neutral tones can create a softer, more cohesive look.

Look at More Than a Small Sample

A roofing color can look very different across an entire home than it does on a small manufacturer sample.

That’s why UNITED Roofing’s Material & Color Explorer includes multiple examples where available. Seeing the same roofing material across different homes can give you a better sense of how the color may appear on a larger scale.

Consider Lighting

Sunlight, shade, weather, and even the time of day can affect how a roofing color appears. Use online images as inspiration and to narrow your preferences, but review current physical samples before making your final decision.

Asphalt Shingles or Metal Roofing?

Both asphalt shingles and metal roofing can provide attractive, durable roofing solutions. The right choice depends on your home, priorities, budget, and desired appearance.

Asphalt shingles are available in an extensive variety of colors and profiles and remain a popular choice for residential roofing. Architectural and designer shingles can add dimension and visual interest while maintaining the familiar appearance of a shingle roof.

Metal roofing creates a very different aesthetic, with options ranging from traditional corrugated panels to the clean lines of standing seam roofing. Metal is also known for durability, longevity, and relatively low maintenance.

Not sure which option makes sense for your home? The UNITED Roofing team can help you compare roofing materials, understand the differences, and review your color options in person.
