How to update exterior of 70's raised ranch house

Comments (1)I would go more mid century modern. Dark gutters and roof. Leave the brick as is and leave the eaves white. Modern light fixtures and landscaping. Remove the landscape timbers on the left so you can see the brick ledges under the windows. Remove the bench and pop the front door with an orange color. Check out mid century modern homes on Houzz or Google....See More70s Half-brick Ranch, Curb Appeal Needed!
Comments (7)Katie, if you really don't care for the brick, then the Romabio would be a great option for you. Did you know that the lime wash (the Classico) is removable in the first 72 hours? You could try it out on one side just to see if you like it. If not, hose it off! The Masonry Flat is permanent. acts more like a paint but it's the mineral base so it allows the brick to breathe. Before and after w/the Romabio. looks great Even if you plan on 'covering' most of the brick, (which really isn't that great of an idea) the warm tones are still going to show. I just think doing any type of blue siding on top of it won't look right. If you 'paint' the brick the same white as the windows, and then do the blue siding, you'll have a completely different looking home! I'd sample the romabio on the back or side and try out some sample paints above it, just to see if you like it. If your plan is to remove the brick anyway, I don't see what you have to lose. You could paint your brick the anonymous color, Urbane bronze on the siding, you could do a nice blue door Or, do the Riverway on the siding, paint the brick a soft white, and urbane bronze on the trim. White Heron brick, and any of these blues on the siding. darker blue on the door I love these blues. They will all work w/the brown roof too. (when it's time for a roof redo, choose a medium charcoal gray)...See MoreExterior Paint Color for 70's Brick Ranch
Comments (7)No dark browns. Cream and red brick is classic. If you are a bit more adventurous you can do a bit of blue or green with some cream. This brick isn't as dark as yours, but I think the blue and cream they used would be great colors on your home as well....See MoreIrene Morresey
