When homeowners think about curb appeal, they usually focus on paint colors, siding, or landscaping. But the roof often makes up 40% or more of your home's visible exterior! Changing your roof color or material will drastically alter the entire look of your house.
Since a new roof is a massive, multi-decade investment, you cannot afford to choose the wrong color.
Why You Need a Roof Visualizer
Looking at a tiny asphalt shingle sample in a showroom is useless. You need to see how that shingle color interacts with your specific siding color, brick tone, and landscaping in natural lighting.
Our AI-powered exterior visualizer allows you to seamlessly map new roofing materials onto a photo of your actual house.

Dark roofs are incredibly popular right now. They anchor the house, provide striking contrast to lighter siding, and are a mandatory element of the modern farmhouse style. (Keep in mind, dark roofs absorb more heat, which can impact cooling costs in hot climates).
2. Standing Seam Metal
Metal roofs are the ultimate premium upgrade. They last 50+ years and provide a sleek, architectural look. Using the visualizer, try adding a metal roof accent just over your front porch or garage to see if you like the look before committing to the entire house.
3. Warm Earth Tones (Weathered Wood)
If you have a brick or stone exterior, harsh black roofs can sometimes clash. Warm, variegated brown and gray shingles (often called "Weathered Wood") blend beautifully with natural masonry and surrounding foliage.
