Add Curb Appeal Starting with Your Roof

by Rachel Lyon, Direct from the Designers™’ Assistant Editorial Director

You expect your house to be a lasting investment, and you’ll want to make sound selections for the long-lasting parts of your home, too. Take, for instance, the roof—a critical part of your home’s structure that contributes to its overall longevity. Since roofs are only meant to be replaced after many decades, the aesthetic that you choose will be enduring. Chances are you chose your house based in part on looks, and you should complement it with a roof that does it justice. Here’s what you should consider as you look for the perfect roof.

Exterior Design Goals

It’s going to affect the overall impression of your home, so make sure your roof is adding to your design objectives. Do you think the look of handcrafted wooden shakes would enhance your home, or would the aesthetic of slate tiles add a classic touch? Rather than settling for the most common shingles, check out the highly varied and beautiful options that are available from DaVinci Roofscapes, which will really bring out the best in your house. Your roof is a large part of your home’s exterior that influences the big picture, so make it count!

If you have a woodland cottage, shake roofing would really tie it together visually. Have something more Mediterranean? A lighter colored slate that mimics clay tile would be perfect. No matter the style, there is a roofing solution that adds extra flair to your home.

Selecting Color

Once upon a time, you only had the most limited color options for your roof. Whether it was the natural color of the material or just what the manufacturers produced, you didn’t have much choice in the matter. Nowadays, you can choose the overall style independent of color, so you can personalize your roof to really make it match the vision you have for your home.

DaVinci Roofscapes takes color selection seriously. Their single-width and Bellaforté slates and shakes come in a range of authentic colors and feature the use of VariBlend® technology. The resulting blend of different shades produces an utterly natural look, and the palettes available are determined by the type of shake or slate in order to maintain the realistic appearance of the materials. Put your home in the hands of a trusted color expert and you will have a roof that does great things for its curb appeal.

Total Customization

If you have an eclectic style and want to carry it through to your home’s exterior, or maybe you just aren’t sure that the available palette has the perfect color for your home, don’t worry about it. DaVinci Roofscapes gives you the option to explore virtually limitless possibilities with their Color Designer. Just select the kind of shake or slate you’re interested in, and you can incorporate up to five colors into your own custom blend. To ensure the final product is exactly as you pictured, a sample will be sent for approval. This custom colorization doesn’t cost you any extra, so spend some time with the Color Designer tool and put together exactly the roof you want with the wide range of beautiful colors that DaVinci Roofscapes makes available.
