Using CertainTeed’s ColorView™ to Preview Your Roof

Your roof is one of the most visible parts of your home’s exterior and an important element in its curb appeal. The right roof can tie together your exterior color scheme and make your home stand out. As an expert roofing contractor in St. Charles, MO, we can install CertainTeed shingles for your home. Their helpful ColorView™ technology makes choosing the best-looking roof easy. Here’s how it works:

Pre-Formatted Homes

CertainTeed has a wide range of home styles for the first option, so simply choose the one that best fits your home. Once you choose a home, you’ll see different options depending on the house style. For instance, you can customize its roof, siding, pillar, house trim, railing, and front door. Once you select the roof option, you need to choose the shingle type: luxury, traditional, designer, and premium designer. You can then choose the style, and shingle color. The picture will change and reflect your selection.

Uploading a Photo of Your Own Home

As a specialist in roofing in St. Charles, MO, we recommend this option for homeowners who need a quick and accurate way to design their roof. Uploading a photo of your home is simple. You just need to follow a few guidelines.

Your photo needs to have a minimal amount of objects. The resolution must be larger than 600 x 600 and the file size must be smaller than 13 mb. The file must also be a JPG, BMP, PNG, or GIF. You then need to create a new account so you can save your house designs. Once you’ve created an account and uploaded your photo, you’ll see the same options we outlined above and you can begin designing.

Professional Design

To hire a professional, you need to take a photo following the same guidelines. There’s a 15-dollar fee for this service, but it is refundable via rebate. All you need to do is purchase a minimum of 10 squares (1000 square feet) of CertainTeed roofing. Then, provide the original itemized, dated receipt/invoice from us as the proof-of-purchase and mail it together with the completed rebate form. The rebate will be in the form of a Visa check card. CertainTeed will then email a link to your home in ColorView within two business days.
