Help! Need new exterior look for this Tudor style house
Comments (7)The overall look of your house is Tudor, but it has a lot of other elements tacked on that make it a mix of different styles. Thank the builder gods that you don't have a humongous double garage facing the front. Do not paint stone or brick or you'll be stuck with maintenance forever. Do not add shutters, which will add yet another style element to this blend of different styles. (The house below does have a double pair, though, if you're bent on them.) I'm not sure you can "update" something that doesn't have a single style. The current color actually does pull the stone and brick together. If you want the Tudor style to stand out, them do what Housson suggests picking a shade of the roof color for the timbers. Your stone entrance could use a little more drama with much larger light sconces. It's a shame the landscaping doesn't enhance the house as much as it could. A curved walkway farther out so that you could have more dramatic planting beds would have set off the house more impressively. What you have is fine but more suited to a smaller house....See MoreTudor style house exterior makeover S.O.S.!
Comments (3)Is your current budget for a complete new paint job or more extensive work?

Comments (45)We choose a lighter colored roof for our Tudor style home. A simple google search "tudor house with light colored roof " will reveal many beautiful examples of how a lighter roof can update the look of a Tudor. It is of course a matter of personal taste, and there are many opinions, but there are no hard and fast "rules" about how this style home should look. BTW Zinc strips are commonly used in the pacific northwest on roofs and regardless of what the article says, they are effective at retarding moss damage to a roof. They are not easily visible and especially not on an elevation like that shown here....See MoreHelp with brick tudor exterior update
Comments (14)I would look at the Tudor corbels on the homes that BeverlyFLADeziner posted. You can see how they are sort of chunky, as if cut of timber. Nothing huge, but subtle. I think those could enhance the structure of a pergola on your home. Corbels are usually found on porches, gable ends, etc. You could have a conventional pergola with those as the support pieces. Painted the trim color of your choice....See Morediercknm
