Should you choose a different color?

Consider the look of your home's exterior.  A new color could bring your whole look together.

The color of the roof should coordinate with all your exterior elements: paint, siding, brick, or stone etc.

Do you need more dimension?

If your home is monochromatic think about adding shingles that appear thicker or give your roof a rich textured look.  

Homes that already have detailed exteriors a muted softer shingle may be more appropriate. There are so many varieties of roofing shingles that carry unique combinations to really help add to the curb appeal of your home.  Over the next few blogs Midwest Roofing is going to talk about a number of Shingle products that are beautiful and designed to protect you home.  In the days and weeks to come we will be highlighting a few of these shingle options and talking about the durability and luxury of a few of these outstanding products we offer here at Midwest Roofing Services.

 In 2005 Midwest Roofing Services, your Wichita roofing company, relocated its office to 2209 West Harry. Recently, our home office has been transformed into a more comfortable new atmosphere for our clients and employees by a local artist Linnette Lee of Fresh Paint.  Fresh Paint came into the office to help give us ideas on how we can make our home office more comfortable and stylish for our clients and our employees. Since Midwest Roofing Services is a family business we wanted our clients to feel like part of our family when you come into visit. Fresh Paint provided us with several sample boards of different faux finishing techniques to help us make our decision. In the end our front entry was transformed and given a warm glaze finish with a burnt orange accent wall of  a luster texture to compliment our our sign for Midwest Roofing Services in the entry.  We then re situated our front desk for our always smiling receptionist Nicole Zahner to sit and welcome our clients as they come in. Two leather chairs  were then added for our  clients to help them feel more comfortable and at home while visiting with us.  We would like to give a Special Thanks to the excellent service Linnette Lee of Fresh Paint offered us in helping us create this new at home feeling for our business.  If you are interested in a faux finishes or murals, we recommend you check out Fresh Paints  great website at www.freshpaintartist.com and see what all her business has to offer you.
