4 Ideas That Help Your Sloped Roof Stand Out

You spent a lot of money on your home. For many people, their home is the largest investment they will make in a lifetime. Your roof is a large expense with your home. Average roof replacement runs as much as 10-15% of the cost of your home. You want your roof to look good and stand out. Intelligent Design gives you four ideas that help your sloped roof stand out.

Sloped Roof Benefits

Depending on where you live in the country, the advantages of a sloped roof differ. In the south, where it rains a lot, a sloped roof keeps the water from building up and protects your home. In the north, where it snows, a sloped roof helps by reducing snow accumulation in the winter. A sloped roof goes a long way to protecting your home.

Four Ideas That Help Your Sloped Roof Stand Out

A roof is a major part of your home. Part of curb appeal is the look of your roof. You put a lot of thought into the color of your home. Putting as much thought into your roof will help you individualize your home and give it great curb appeal. Here are four ideas to help your roof stand out from the crowd:

1. Color Choice. Even if you go with regular shingles, there are different shapes, colors, and textures to choose from. Architectural asphalt shingles give the look of depth to your roof by having shadow lines made into the shingles themselves.

2. Wood Shake Tile. If you have a home that looks historic, or if you want it to look historic, choose wood shake tiles for your roofing. The look is fairly labor intensive to install, but completely changes the look of your sloped roof. You can even paint the roof to match your home. This type of roofing does require regular maintenance by sealing the tiles to keep them waterproof.

3. Clay Tiles. Clay tiles are a popular choice for dry climates, like in the Southwest, but are suitable for just about any climate. They come in a broad range of colors. You can choose traditionally shaped tiles for an adobe look or something more modern. Clay tiles are fairly labor intensive to install, but have a very high durability and long life.

4. Metal Roofing. Metal roofing has a history in commercial applications but has recently grown popular in residential applications. It has a very long lifespan. What makes it a good choice for helping your sloped roof stand out is that is the vast array of colors available. Recent innovations in metal roofing also give you the choice of shape. You can install a metal roof that looks like clay tile or a wood shake roof.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
