If you are planning to upgrade your New Westminster roofing, shingles are likely one of your options. But with the number of available shingle colors and types, choosing one for your home can get challenging. It helps to know the architectural design of your house. Do you have a Victorian, Tudor or Craftsman design? From there, you can narrow down your shingle selection. The great news is GAF manufactures different kinds of shingles tailored to match various styles.Here is a brief guide to what GAF has to offer.
Victorian
If you have an asymmetrical facade with a steeply pitched roof, then you most likely have a Victorian. Victorian homes often feature decorative trim with large-columned porches and verandas that give them an elegant touch. GAF recommends Slateline® and Sienna® shingles for this style.
Colonial
Your Colonial would do well with GAF’s Camelot®, Camelot II and Slateline shingles. Camelot shingles give uncompromising performance and timeless beauty at an affordable cost.Gray, black and other dark colors often go well with Colonial homes. The dark color palette accentuates the balanced design and pitched roofing.
Tudor
Tudor homes have steep roofing, tall and narrow windows and doors, and generally have components of stone or brick with stucco.By using GAF’s Slateline or Camelot II shingles, you can blend the striking features of a Tudor structure. Consider various shades of gray and brown.
Craftsman
Many homeowners love the shallow-pitched roofing and tapered columns of Craftsman homes. That’s why if you are planning a roof replacement soon, make sure you select Timberline®, Grand Sequoia® or Grand Canyon®shingles. Earth tones such as gray, green and brown can blend well with the broad front porch and asymmetrical windows or doors of a Craftsman home.
