(BPT) - When it's time to replace your roof, what matters most? Some are more focused on the performance and warranty. Others are looking to elevate curb appeal with a new roof color. Whether your focus is on style or durability, Owens Corning ensures you don't have to compromise on beauty or performance.

That's why Owens Corning teamed up with Erin and Ben Napier - the husband-and-wife TV hosts and design duo from Laurel, Mississippi - to help educate and inspire homeowners to make confident roofing decisions.

Style + Strength: Erin and Ben Napier's Guide to Confident Roofing Choices

Erin and Ben bring two distinct perspectives to the roof replacement conversation. Erin, a self-described "roof geek" with a fine arts degree, sees the roof as a bold design element that can transform a home's curb appeal. She's passionate about color and how it ties a home's exterior together. Ben, on the other hand, approaches roofing with a craftsman's eye for strength and performance. He focuses on how every component of the roof system works together to protect what matters most.

Through their partnership with Owens Corning Roofing, Erin and Ben offer style and design tips to help homeowners make confident, inspired decisions. Here are their top three tips for creating a roof you'll really love™.

Tip #1: Consider Roof Color to Enhance Curb Appeal

Erin says a home's roof color is often the most overlooked design element. Coordinating shingles with brick, siding and trim can make a cohesive statement for elevated curb appeal. She encourages homeowners to pay attention to the subtle color tones and hues that give a shingle depth and dimension.

While shingle color might seem simple at first glance, the blend of color granules in each option plays a big role in defining a home's style. Erin recommends going beyond traditional grays, blacks and browns to explore bolder choices. For example, Evergreen Mist - a new shingle color in the Owens Corning TruDefinition^® Designer Duration^® line - captures the beauty of a mist-covered garden path with a mix of vibrant greens and blues, earthy tans and soft gray-browns. Other shingles in the TruDefinition^® Duration^® Designer line offer a range of tones, so homeowners can find the perfect match for their personal style.

Tip #2: Don't Sacrifice Durability

Ben Napier knows that great design means nothing without lasting performance. That's why he emphasizes the importance of durability when choosing a roof. The construction of a shingle can dramatically impact how well it protects your home. Owens Corning TruDefinition^® Duration^® Shingles feature SureNail^® Technology - a patented reinforced nailing line engineered with a tough, woven fabric. This innovation improves wind resistance, prevents nail blow-through and delivers outstanding fastener holding power. SureNail^® Technology is designed to withstand winds up to 130 mph and provides a triple layer of protection for added durability. Pair these shingles with the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System^® for a complete system that works together to help protect your home.

Tip #3: Find Your Inspiration

Ben and Erin believe that great ideas often start close to home. Ready to think about your roof differently? Erin suggests taking a drive around your neighborhood to spot colors and styles that catch your eye. Owens Corning calls this Roof Gawking^®- and it's a fun way to discover what you love.
