Asphalt Roofs
Expert Asphalt Roofing Installation
Local Expertise in Asphalt Roofs
In Central Florida’s high-heat, high-humidity, and storm-heavy environment, asphalt roofing continues to be a top choice for homeowners looking for resilience, flexibility, and affordability. While tile roofing—such as clay or concrete tiles—offers undeniable style and longevity, asphalt shingles bring distinct advantages: they are lighter in weight, easier to install, more budget-friendly, and simpler to repair when needed. This makes them an ideal solution for homeowners who want reliable protection without sacrificing curb appeal or breaking the bank.
At Orlando Roofing, we provide expert installation and maintenance for a full range of asphalt shingle types—including 3-tab shingles for budget-conscious projects, architectural shingles for a dimensional, high-end appearance, and premium designer shingles for those seeking enhanced durability and unique textures. Our systems are built to perform under Florida’s toughest weather conditions, from hurricane-force winds to scorching summer heat.
Choosing the Right Shingle Color for Your Florida Home
The color of your roof plays a crucial role not just in your home’s appearance, but also in its thermal performance and resale value. In Orlando, certain colors are especially popular due to both aesthetic appeal and climate considerations. Here’s a breakdown of the most sought-after shades and their benefits:
These rich, dark hues give homes a classic, timeless look. They work well with traditional architecture but may retain more heat—something to consider in Florida’s hot climate unless proper insulation is in place.
Neutral and adaptable, lighter shades of gray are trending for their clean look and ability to reflect more sunlight. They’re a great match for contemporary homes and help reduce attic heat buildup during the summer.
Brown tones add warmth and pair beautifully with natural surroundings or brick exteriors. Lighter browns, like tan or taupe, offer better heat reflectivity, while deeper browns lean more traditional and rustic.
These colors offer a refreshing change from the norm, particularly for coastal or tropical-themed homes. Muted green or blue shingles can enhance modern or craftsman-style designs and give your roof a distinctive, eye-catching charm.
Many manufacturers now offer customized blends and gradient-style shingles, allowing homeowners to achieve a multitone effect that mimics slate or wood shakes. These options are great for homeowners looking for uniqueness and texture in their roofing.
Tips for Choosing Your Shingle Color
Match Your Home’s Architecture: Consider your exterior paint, siding, trim, and landscaping to choose a complementary roof tone.
Think Long-Term: Select a color you’ll enjoy for years to come—trends fade, but your roof is a decades-long commitment.
Use Light to Your Advantage: Lighter colors reflect sunlight and can help lower indoor temperatures in Florida’s heat.
Consult a Roofing Expert: At Orlando Roofing, we can provide physical samples and real-world examples to help you visualize the final result.
Consider HOA and Neighborhood Aesthetics: If you live in a community with guidelines, check if specific colors or materials are required or restricted.
