New Shingles
Have you ever been by a home that was in real need of some new shingles? The house was in good shape, but the shingles just made the rest of it look bad. Shingles can really change the look of a home. If you want to make your home look great all around consider replacing your old roof shingles with new modern shingles.
The kind of shingles on your home can really tell viewers how old your home really is. Most shingles should be replaced at around 20 years. There are some that will last 30 years, but they are usually a bit more expensive. Price can really be an issue when you replace roof shingles, but if think about everything they bring to a home they are well worth the money spent on them.
Today, you have many different color options that are available. It can be difficult to really narrow the choices down to something that would look great on your home for the next two to three decades. You want something that will be easy to match with that way if you decide to paint your home later on, your shingles will still look great. Often times, people pick out shingles that are hard to match later on.
It is recommended that you also buy a little extra that way you will have some if any need to be replaced later on. There is nothing worse then having to use shingles that do not match because a few need to be replaced.

I like your suggestion to look to the future when picking out a color of shingles. You may want a siding change some day. We have used those few extra that were purchased and left with a house we bought. That was an appreciated surprise in the garage. We have always done our own repairs and for those new home owners that need alittle help, advice, encouragement, or whatever, there is a website taht gives you what you need and want.
