What is the Excel Roofing 3D roof design tool?

The Excel Roofing 3D Roof Designer is a free online tool powered by Owens Corning that lets homeowners visualize their roof before installation. You can browse asphalt shingle colors, explore underlayment options, and configure ice and water shield systems — all in an interactive 3D model you can rotate and view from any angle.

What roofing products can I design with this tool?

The tool lets you explore Owens Corning asphalt shingle colors and styles, underlayment systems, and ice and water shield configurations. It's designed to help Colorado homeowners make confident decisions about both the look and the protective layers of their new roof before committing to a product.

Is the 3D roof designer free to use?

Yes, the tool is completely free to use. No account, download, or payment is required. Simply visit the page, load your roof model, and start exploring color and material options.

What is an underlayment and why does it matter?

Underlayment is a water-resistant or waterproof layer installed directly onto your roof deck, beneath the shingles. It acts as a secondary barrier against wind-driven rain and moisture. For Colorado homes, choosing the right underlayment — especially synthetic underlayment — is critical for protection against extreme weather and heavy snow loads.

What is ice and water shield and do I need it in Colorado?

Ice and water shield is a self-adhering waterproof membrane applied to the most vulnerable areas of your roof — typically along eaves, valleys, and penetrations. In Colorado, where freeze-thaw cycles and ice damming are common, ice and water shield is strongly recommended and required by building code in many mountain communities including Summit County.

Can I use the design tool before scheduling a roof replacement estimate?

Absolutely. The 3D roof designer is a great first step before your consultation with Excel Roofing. Exploring color options and system components ahead of time helps you arrive at your estimate appointment with a clearer sense of what you want, making the process faster and easier.
