COLOR

There are literally thousands of color options to choose from when selecting the shingles for your roof.

A good place to start is to check with your homeowner’s association or community organization to see if they have regulations color schemes and layouts. To narrow your options down a little further, look for shingle colors that will complement your siding, brick, or other exterior colors.

Lighter colors tend to make a your home seem larger and more contemporary, while darker choices can create a traditional and cozy feeling. We have a lot of experience with roof design, so don’t be afraid to call us up and ask what colors would best match your home and neighborhood.

STYLE

Shingles come in a larger variety of styles than you would think. Depending on your budget and taste, styles can completely change the look of your roof.

If you go with a larger format shingle, you will cover more area in less time, but you’ll also lose dimension in the look of your roof. If you’re looking for more depth, consider a laminated, strip or architectural shingle.

Since they can be layered to add depth to your roof’s surface, strip roof shingles can also provide a visual texture that is very appealing.

QUALITY

While the look and feel of your roof is very important, the quality is even more so. Better quality shingles and construction will increase your roof’s life span, sturdiness and weather resistance.

Here at MLK Construction, we will let you know exactly what you are getting into with each type of shingle and you never have to worry about the quality of construction.
