Siding and roofing is like sending your kid to college: the event usually comes around every eighteen or so years, you know it’s going to be pricey, and you’re hoping it’ll still be intact to take care of you in your later years.
If you’re going to invest in new vinyl siding and roofing shingles, considering the amount of money you’re spending and make sure you’re hiring a professional. Examine every combination of siding color and styling and roof color and styling on your house. Patience is key when figuring out which combination works for you. Here are a couple tips and ideas to assist you in you in these efforts.
How to Choose Vinyl Siding & Roofing Shingles
Consider your home’s current style. Siding colors such as whites, light grays, or yellows are classic and go best with a Victorian or Colonial home. If you’re like so many other homeowners that prefer a little more color while still being somewhat subdued on these styles of homes we recommend tans, creams, or a more blackish blue. If you’re working with a contemporary home, they tend to look regardless of the color.
Check out your neighbor’s homes for inspiration. Get out there! Look at the neighborhood to see what combinations of shingles and siding you think would work with your house. Homes with a the same style of structure as yours are a great place to start.
Stick out, but not too much. Individuality makes a neighborhood special! However, it’s not always welcomed if you’re deciding to use neon siding and a white roof. What we’re saying is try compliment your neighbors home’s Without copying their style do what you want for the betterment of the street. Make sure it fits, while still being you. Resale value will almost never go down if the home appears to fit in with the surrounding ones.
Does the natural light during the day work with your colors? Review each color you’re considering in the morning, day, and at dusk. Not night because you’ll need some light. Be outside every time while doing this. Natural light can be a deal breaker or maker.
