Introducing Mattsson Roofing’s First Ever Green Shingled Roof!

At Mattsson Roofing, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality roofing solutions tailored to our clients' unique preferences. Today, we’re excited to showcase something truly special—our first-ever green shingled roof!

We frequently install roofs in classic colors like black, pewter, gray, and brown, but this project was different. The homeowner made a bold and beautiful choice, opting for a green shingle roof that complements the natural surroundings of their home. This decision not only makes their home stand out but also allows the roof to seamlessly blend in with the lush foliage around it.

The Beauty of a Green Roof

A green shingled roof isn’t for every home, but in the right setting, it can be a stunning and unique design choice. This particular home had the perfect backdrop for a green roof—the surrounding trees and natural landscape made the color blend harmoniously, creating a visually appealing and cohesive look.

Beyond aesthetics, choosing a unique roof color is a great way to add character to your home. It’s always refreshing to see homeowners willing to break away from traditional roofing colors and embrace something that sets them apart. With this project, we now have a real-life example to show future clients who might be interested in making a similar choice.
