Roof Colors
TOM: Looking to make a design splash with your house this spring? Start with a splash of color on your roof. Here are tips on picking trendy roof colors. Hi, I’m Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I’m Leslie Segrete with today’s Money Pit home improvement minute.
TOM: A colorful roof can give new life to a home’s exterior. Looking to go bolder with your shutters, siding, and trim? Consider a gray roof, which anchors those brighter shades.
LESLIE: Dark blue is also hot for roofs this year. Pair it with siding and trim in neutrals like creams and beiges for a clean and classic, but noticeably sharp, exterior.
TOM: And in the past, a green roof meant an algae or mold problem. But that’s all changing. Green draws on natural surroundings for a calm and welcoming look. It’s getting popular as a go-to shade for roofs.
LESLIE: And whatever color you do go with, avoid matching your roof to your home’s siding or brick. Contrasting roof colors beat bland every time, and will make sure your home stands out. I’m Leslie Segrete.
