Having your roof replaced or repaired is critical to the integrity of your home’s structure. However, it can also be a fun project to plan when it comes to choosing ornamental details that will enhance the beauty and value of your home. Your roofing contractor can work with you on selecting upgrades that will coordinate with your home’s aesthetic. Continue reading for a few ideas.  

4 Ways to Enhance Your Roof

1. Copper Chimney & Pipe Flashing

Copper is a classic element that never goes out of style. It looks beautiful, and it’s functional. Copper is a great material for flashing, thanks to its durability and rust-proof properties. It can also be soldered to create the most leak-tight joints. In addition, copper flashing can help prevent moss buildup on roofs.  

2. Custom Carpentry

Nothing beautifies your home like custom details. Look for a roofing contractor that offers custom carpentry to add unique details like wood overhangs and supports, and detailed gables that complement the color of your new roof.

3. Architectural Shingles

Boring shingles are a thing of the past. Today’s asphalt shingles are dimensional and add a distinctive look to your roof such as GAF’s Timberline High Definition shingles. You can even get asphalt shingles and composite materials that have the durability of regular shingles, but mimic the look of wood or slate. If you want a high-end statement look, your roofing contractor can discuss premium asphalt shingle options, as well as wood, slate and tile materials, and can make recommendations on shingle products that will harmonize with your home’s style and add to its beauty.

4. Copper Standing Seam Entrance Roofs 

In addition to choosing a bold color for your front door, you can also make your home’s entranceway stand out with custom copper work. Your roofing contractor can suggest ways to highlight the entrance of your home by adding a beautiful custom copper roof or awning above your front door. Adding ornamental details such as a copper roof for your doorway enhances your home’s entrance and adds to its curb appeal.
