Siding makes up a big part of your home’s exterior. While it protects your home from different weather elements, it should also complement your home’s architecture. But after several years, you might need to consider updating its colors to freshen up its visual appeal. If you’re looking for ideas for your siding colors, fire retardant siding specialist Peninsula Siding Company, Inc. shares what to consider.
Your Home’s Exterior Design
Your home’s overall architecture is a major influence on the colors you’ll pick for your new siding. If you have a Colonial-style house, for instance, you can consider some of the classic colors such as white, beige, or tan. But if you’re planning something more modern, you can go for brighter colors, especially for the trim and accents. Other home styles such as Country or Cottage can also have several color schemes that complement their overall exterior design.
Your Siding’s Age and Condition
Old siding can be repainted to restore its appearance, but that doesn’t mean it is still as effective as it once was. Doing so hardly improves its weather performance; since it’s already old, it won’t be effective against the elements. As a trusted siding contractor, we strongly recommend you get a complete replacement instead to prevent additional problems and costly repairs later on. This gives you the opportunity to choose which color scheme suits best for your home, be it the same as your old siding or a completely different one.
Prevalent Colors in Your Neighborhood
Another way to pick the right siding color is to look for ideas in your neighborhood. You can draw inspiration from colors used by different homes, especially the ones designed similarly to yours since they help you visualize what your exterior will look like in that particular color. You should also discuss this with trusted siding installers who can also help narrow down color options.
