Popular Roofing Types and Colors

When it comes to asphalt shingles, an emerging trend is to install impact-resistant shingles. These are especially popular in New England where we get a lot of harsh weather such as hail. These shingles comprise a polymer that resists damage by hail, particularly to the fiberglass beneath them.

Trending colors for roofing include weathered wood (with deep browns and accents of light brown and clay) and driftwood (with cooler gray tones). Both colors are neutral and will match most house colors. Gray and black shingle roofs are timeless and remain popular, with darker roofs trending the most this year.

Solar Roofs

Solar roofs are the fastest growing kind of roof today, as more and more homeowners want to protect the environment through an investment in alternative forms of energy. Solar shingles, or solar roof tiles, are comprised of photovoltaic (PV) sheets that replace or overlay existing shingles, absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. As such, homeowners can save between 40 and 70 percent on their energy bills depending on how many tiles they install.

How efficient a solar roof is will depend greatly on the area in which the home is located. For example, solar panels on a home in Seattle won’t be as beneficial as in the South where homes get much more sunlight per year. Efficiency will also depend on your current living situation. For example, if only two people live in the home but travel often, it’s not as cost effective to install solar roofing as it would be for a large family that’s home all the time and consuming large amounts of energy.
