New Paint and Roof Color Suggestions Needed
Comments (4)White tile roof reminds me of Bermuda where the houses are all kinds of colors. Here's a pretty, soft blue that would echo the lake....See MoreNew roof. Need color for trim,guttering,patio. New front door soon.
Comments (2)Is the new roof on already? If you are going to be replacing it and want suggestions, you should narrow down your choices to two or three and post pictures of the samples. There are too many brands for us to be making suggestions about roofing. We don't know what's available to you and what your price range is. Another thing that would help you get more comments is posting a closer up picture of the brick. Not one foot away, but 5-10 feet away in good light. What is the question exactly about the patio and where is it? Post a picture of it or where you are considering putting it....See MoreNew roof advice needed!
Comments (7)I would pick brown too, and please pick a solid brown, one that is variegated will clash with your brick. Match the brown to the brown in your brick, and I agree with above a taupe would be a better color for the stucco, what you have is too gold....See MoreHelp for my plain little Fla stucco home--need a new roof and paint
Comments (5)Thanks for your suggestions! I am indecisive about both the roof color and the house color. I need to decide on the roof color ASAP. It's hard because I'm not sure about the house color. We can get the roof done next month, but the paint may be a while as it is hard to find available contractors in our area--they prefer to work on the more profitable coastal homes. Celery, I love white homes but apparently so does everyone else in southwest Florida. Minimalist white with black or blue accents has completely replaced Mediterranean over the past 5 years. I'd actually been thinking about something like the dried thyme @ginatay124, but now I really like the Aegean olive. Do you think that would work with the white windows? We are using Certainteed Landmark asphalt shingles and I've been about to say go on Georgetown Gray. Both of the homes below are Georgetown Gray. The home next to mine is the same model and it's a light gray with a metal roof....See Moreklem1
