The Design Eye Visualization Experience

A new roof is one of the most important decisions you will ever make when upgrading your home. Before selecting a roofing contractor, you should carefully plan out your project from start to finish. Roof color is one of the most important choices you will need to make, as well as one of the most risky decisions you will have to take on. Risky because the color and style you select today could be with you for the next several decades. Fortunately, we understand first hand that it is difficult to visualize what a particular roofing shingle color will look like when installed on your home.  At Ameristar Exteriors, we offer our customers color selector charts that will help make the decision easier, along with our own knowledgeable, experienced, professional advice. Today's roofing color blends can be intricate, therefore we highly suggest looking at several shingles before advancing with a commitment.

Various roofing manufacturers offer customers Web-based tools to facilitate the process of selecting exterior products for your home.  We prefer the Owens Corning Design Eye Visualization Experience, which can be accessed by clicking here. Choose from a model home online, or upload a photo of your home and experiment with professionally designed palettes or create your own custom color combinations.
