How to pick a roof shingle color in Colorado.

Start with what is not changing

Your stone, brick, and siding are staying. Pick a roof color that works with them. Gray and brown stone usually look best with a gray, charcoal, or brown-gray roof. Red brick pairs well with darker browns and charcoal.

Check with your HOA

Many neighborhoods in Colorado Springs, Monument, and Peyton need HOA approval for roof colors. We can help you get the product name and color details they ask for.

See it in Colorado sunlight

Our sun is strong, and it makes colors look lighter than they do on a screen or in a store. We bring real shingle samples so you can see them on your house at different times of day.

Light or dark?

Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight than dark ones. Darker roofs hide dirt and streaks and look sharp on modern homes. There is no wrong answer, just tradeoffs.
