In addition, we are a GAF Master Elite\u2122 contractor, allowing us to install GAF\u2019s entire product line. GAF is North America\u2019s largest roofing manufacturer, so they offer a very wide range of roofing shingle designs and colors. Choosing your roof can feel a bit overwhelming, and that\u2019s why we recommend using GAF\u2019s Virtual Home Remodeler to help you narrow your choices down. Learn more about it here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose a Photo or Upload a Photo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, click the \u201cCustomize a Home\u201d button on the lower left corner of your screen. You are now at a section where you can choose from different home styles, so simply find one that best matches your home. However, you can also upload a picture of your home for maximum accuracy. Make an account and then take a clear picture of your home. For best results, make sure that there is enough lighting in the shot and that there is nothing blocking the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Select Your Shingles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/thomasroofing.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/BLOG-Content-Pic-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Customization is next. You need to choose your shingle style out of all of GAF\u2019s shingles and color options. The program will show you a preview of what your home will look like after roof replacement, so take this opportunity to experiment. As an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/about-us\/\">roofing company<\/a>, we recommend choosing a lot of different shingles and colors so you can find what works best for your home. Try to choose colors that complement your home\u2019s existing color scheme for maximum visual harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customize Your Exterior<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The program also allows you to customize the siding color and trim color on the photograph. This helps you find the absolute best color scheme for certain shingles. GAF also provides short summaries and color recommendations with every roof color that you choose. This will help put you on the right track. If you are planning on replacing your roof, why not replace your siding as well and transform your exterior? The Thomas Roofing Company can help you with both of these projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Experienced Roofing Services for Your Home Today!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can provide you with personalized advice on choosing the best-performing and best-looking roofing shingles for your home.
