Mix-and-Match Your Roofing and Siding Colors

Larry Walty II • December 15, 2020

A few homeowners underestimate just how important the colors are for a home. Some are content with simply choosing traditional color combinations they find in a catalog. But most roof repair experts think that colors and color combinations, particularly with the roof and siding, can offer a glimpse of your dwelling’s character and its occupants.

At Larry Walty Roofing & Guttering Inc., we know exactly the dilemma posed by choosing colors for these two components. That’s why in today’s post, we talk about the underlying principle of color combination as far as the exterior design is concerned.

Complementing and Matching

You can round out either your roofing or siding color by using a complementary shade for the other. You can even use the same color for a crisp, uniform look. Commercial roof repair contractors cite modern homes as an example, where they use monochromatic schemes to great effect. A black-and-white combination serves a short, stocky home well because this combination makes the property look taller than it really is.

On the flip side, be careful with applying this paint because it might hide repair issues until they’re full-blown problems. They might also be considered boring for most people.

Contrasting

On the other hand, contrasting colors are ideal for homeowners who can put the time and effort to decorate their homes. Contrast adds depth and definition to your overall design and even helps draw the eye to features of your exterior that you want to emphasize.

Unlike monochromatic designs, contrasting colors are highly labor-intensive and require the input of a professional. As one of the top-rated residential and commercial roofing contractors in the area, we can offer you insight on how exactly you can approach this color combination project.
