Preview New Shingles on Your Home — Before You Buy

Choosing a new roof is one of the biggest exterior decisions you’ll make as a homeowner. The DesignEyeQ Home Simulator takes the guesswork out of shingle color and style — so you can see how different options look on your actual home (or a home that looks like yours) before committing.

It’s the same tool we walk through with homeowners during in-person consultations across Atlanta, Marietta, and Sandy Springs. Use it on your own time, save the looks you like, and bring them to your free on-site estimate. Already know what you want? See our pick your shingles guide for help narrowing down brands and warranties.

The simulator is most useful before a full roof replacement or new roof installation project. If you’re not sure whether you need a replacement, our free roof inspection will tell you where you stand.

How It Works

Three Steps to See Your New Roof

Follow the directions below to upload a photo or choose a similar style home — and get an idea of how new shingles will look on your property.

  1. 01

    Upload Your Home Photo

    Take a clear, straight-on exterior photo of your home in good daylight. Upload it to the DesignEyeQ simulator, or if you’d rather not, simply pick a stock home photo that looks similar to yours from the gallery.

  2. 02

    Pick a Shingle Style & Color

    Browse architectural shingles, designer profiles, and a wide range of color palettes. Apply different combinations and see how each shingle looks against your siding, trim, and brick before deciding.

  3. 03

    Save & Share With Our Team

    Save your favorite looks and bring them to your free on-site consultation. We’ll match the style to manufacturer warranties, confirm pricing, and walk you through next steps — book online or call us when you’re ready.

Tips for Best Results

What to Look for While You Visualize

A few things to keep in mind as you try different shingle styles — this is what we’d point out if we were sitting next to you at the screen.

01

Pair With Siding & Trim

Pull a shingle that complements (not competes with) your siding color. Cool-toned shingles pair best with grays and blues; warm tones suit beige, cream, and brick.

02

Consider the Sun

Atlanta gets a lot of sun. Lighter shingles reflect more heat and can extend the life of your attic insulation, while darker shingles hide weathering longer.

03

Look at Neighborhood Context

HOA-friendly choices and homes that match the surrounding street tend to hold resale value best. Save 2–3 favorites and we’ll help you decide.

04

Check Warranty & Class Rating

Beyond looks, every shingle carries a wind rating, impact class, and manufacturer warranty. Our team can match the look you choose to the right product line.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About the Roofing Simulator

What is the DesignEyeQ Home Simulator?

DesignEyeQ is a free online tool that lets you preview shingle colors, styles, and brands on your home before committing to a roof replacement. You can upload your own photo or pick a stock home that looks similar to yours.

Is the roofing simulator free to use?

Yes. The simulator is free, with no obligation to schedule a service. We encourage every homeowner considering a new roof to try it before booking an estimate.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear, straight-on exterior photo taken in good daylight gives the best preview. Avoid heavy shadows, deep angles, or obstructions like trees in front of the roof line.

What if my home isn’t in the stock gallery?

Just upload your own photo. If you’d rather not, choose the closest match — same roof pitch, similar siding color, and comparable size — and the preview will still give you a strong sense of the final look.

Can I save my shingle selection and share it with you?

Yes. Save your favorite combinations and share them when you book your free consultation — we’ll match the style to manufacturer warranties and current pricing.

Do simulator previews exactly match the finished roof?

Simulator previews are very close, but not perfect. Lighting, shingle granule variation, and screen color profiles all affect how the final installation looks. We recommend reviewing physical samples during your on-site consultation as a final check.
