Siding and Roof Help!

Need suggestions on what siding and roof colors would look best. I don't know which colors will compliment the brick and style of the home the best. We are thinking of extending the roof line to cover the porch but not sure yet. The window awnings will be coming down. Thank you for your help!

Comments (7)It would be a lot cheaper. Bob Vila says that a good quality roof shingle, properly installed can last up to 50 years, baring that ‘"act of God” natural disaster, which insurance companies always inject with a clause in your coverage. The darker color being the brick, the chairs is Waterbury Cream and I suggest it for above the bricks. The columns/trim: Niveous. .

Comments (2)It really all depends on number one budget two, your style. —— Ideally, I would want to see a larger front porch added to the front elevation. Remove the driveway and do a circular driveway. —— Paint can go so many different ways. White (love a white classic timeless home) -Black or charcoal can be cool - more of a mid century vibe. i see you like green. In your idea book. So maybe a green exterior is what you really want....See MoreNeed help choosing roofing/siding/colors for house with Mansard roof
Comments (7)No brown roof on that house. It wont look good with the brick. The charcoal color it is now, is perfect, and I would redo it with the same color it is. No, dont paint the brick. Why take something maintenance free and turn it into maintenance. The shutters could be a bit darker than wht they are. I agree with above, your house right now is perfect for the style of the house. Do not muddle up, what already works very well. Put your money on something else, or just bank it and enjoy what you already have, which is a very well done exterior....See MoreSarah Michael

5 years agoWe were initially thinking of this door. It was the walnut door I mentioned earlier but I know its not craftsman. We both love craftsman, just never thought about it for the house.
