Fiber Glass Asphalt Shingles Vs Organic Asphalt Shingles in Dallas Fort Worth Area

Both are good choices. Your choice will depend on
 1) Location
 2) Aesthetics
 3) Budget
 4) Availability

 Generally, its more important how many years of warranty (20 year, 25 year, 30 year, etc) a company will give. That is more important then what the shingle is made out of. Now, having said that, fiberglass is better for our region here in Texas, more and more companies are moving towards fiber glass mat. Fiber glass is also fire resistant.  Also the fiber glass shingles work better in hot weather.  Both the shingles are made with asphalt, but the mat in different.  One has more wood, and the other has more fiber glass.

The difference between the two is more of a concern to the roofers usually.  The organic shingles are more flexible, and the mat is thicker of the two.

Some Guidelines To Help You Choose The Best Color Selection For Your Roof Shingles

Since the is roof biggest fixed structure of the house. The color of the roof has to fit the color scheme of the rest of the house. For example, if the color of the house is dark, then you might want to contrast that with a lighter color. If the siding is light, and the window frames dark, the trim light, you might want to consider a in the middle of dark and light color.

Usually window shutters, and doors are of darker color. Your job is to find a color scheme that brings all the colors together. 

 Also, be aware of the trees. Do trees cast a shadow on your house, making your house look darker? Not only do you want to look at the color scheme of your own house, but look at the most used color in your area.

 You want to choose a color that fits with the surrounding. Make sure not to duplicate your color scheme with someone near by.

 If the place you have is for commercial use, consider lighter colors for more serious space, like an office or hospitals. More bright colors for fun places like the zoo or a place to eat. Also consider the color scheme of the logo.

 You do not need to get the exact color, for example, every stone of your house is slightly different. But you get the overall tint. Then look for a color scheme, or an accent, a matching scheme, or a complementary scheme. 

 The human eye generally catches lighter/brighter colors first, then the middle colors, and then dark colors. You can use this to see where the eyes will go first. Are the light/dark colors moving horizontally? You have to also consider the climate of the place you are in. In Texas our climate color is sandy, sun drenched, etc.

 How much of the roof is by the garage? The garage is generally of a lighter color. Do you want to contrast it, or you want to match the color scheme.
