Are you planning to reroof your Minnesota home in the coming year? Before you automatically choose a new version of the existing roof, why not consider changing the shingle color? The right shingle color and siding combination can transform the look of your home’s exterior, adding value and curb appeal.

In this post from The Construction Group, our roofing replacement contractors are breaking down some of the most popular shingle colors for Twin Cities homes.

3. Look for siding and roof color combination ideas around town, in home design magazines, and on the web.
4. Create a home design mood board to generate ideas.
