We'll show you both next to your house so you can judge it yourself rather than go on a chart alone. **Can I see how a color looks in different light before deciding?** Yes — we leave sample boards with you so you can check them in morning and evening light before committing, since shingle color can look noticeably different than it does in a store display. **Does my HOA get a say in the color?** Many Treasure Valley HOAs require color approval before reroofing. We'll flag if your neighborhood typically requires this so you can check before you fall in love with a color. **Is a color consultation actually free if I don't hire you?** The on-site sample walkthrough carries no charge whether or not you move forward — the cost only shows up once you pick a shingle and get a per-square install price.
