How Roof Color and Material Impact Your Curb Appeal
When it comes to boosting your home’s curb appeal, your roof does more than protect—it makes a statement. Whether you live in Olive Branch, Hernando, Lewisburg, Southaven, or anywhere in DeSoto County, choosing the right roof color and material can dramatically change the look of your home and even increase its value.
Shingle Color Isn’t Just Cosmetic
The color of your roof can complement—or clash with—your siding, brick, or trim. Choosing the right tone creates a cohesive, polished look that elevates your home’s entire exterior.
Here’s how to choose wisely:
Light vs. Dark Colors: Lighter shingles reflect sunlight, helping reduce cooling costs, which is ideal for hot Mississippi summers. Darker roofs can add depth and contrast, making them popular for traditional brick homes.
Neutral Tones: Charcoal, taupe, and soft browns are timeless and work well with nearly any palette.
Bold Choices: Deep greens or blues can make your home stand out, especially in neighborhoods where modern or craftsman-style homes are common.
Roofing Materials That Add Style
While asphalt shingles are most common in DeSoto County, there are plenty of stylish options to match your budget and design goals:
Architectural Shingles: Thicker and more dimensional, these add texture and elegance. Perfect for historical homes in Hernando or when you want to ensure you have a durable roof for the strong storms that hit DeSoto County.
Metal Roofing: Modern and durable, metal roofs now come in a variety of finishes and colors. A metal roof can last 40 - 70 years, so it’s a one-and-done option.
Synthetic Slate or Shake: Get the high-end look of natural materials without the weight or maintenance. They also offer excellent durability, storm protection and oftentimes, manufacturer’s warranties that last 50 years or more.
