Metal roofs come in a wide array of colors, from traditional earthy tones like brown and gray to bolder options like red or green, and even metallic finishes. The color is typically applied as a durable paint or coating that resists fading and chalking. This allows homeowners to match their roof to their home's exterior or create a specific aesthetic. Pros can show you available color palettes.

Roofing tar, or asphalt-based sealant, is traditionally used to seal small cracks, seams, and around flashing on certain types of roofs, particularly older or flat roofs. It helps provide a waterproof barrier against moisture. However, for many modern roofing applications, more advanced and flexible sealants are often preferred by professionals for their longevity and performance in varying temperatures. Ask your estimator about the best sealants for your roof.
