Raising the Roof

Your roof is the one place that bears the brunt of everything while you are cozied up on the inside. If you want to stay warm and pest-free, then you need to make sure that your roof is maintained at all times.

The roof however is much more than just a cover over our heads. In fact it holds great potential for design and aesthetics and can do wonders for the overall exterior of your home. This is why you need to know what factors to take into consideration when choosing shingles for your home.

Climate

The climate is the primary factor that you need to consider when purchasing shingles. The right kind will affect the temperature of your home and actually help prevent your energy bills from hitting the roof (pun very much intended). Darker shingles will absorb heat and will help keep homes warmer in colder climates. Lighter shingles on the other hand will reflect the sun and keep the home cool in hotter climates.

Integration in Design

When choosing shingles keep the design of the rest of the home in mind, you need to go for a roofing option which works with the color of the doors and the home. If you have a cream colored house, then brown shingles are a good option.
