Help.. This facade is very boring and exactly the same down the block.
Comments (5)There is no association at all, thankfully. These are individual row homes in a city. No HOA, no fees, nothing... The only roadblock might be neighbors who aren't happy about it being the first house to make exterior changes. But that's a minor problem......See MoreBarren Colonial Exterior Facade
Comments (13)The earliest COLONIAL homes have no porch and little decoration over the door. These homes date from the 1600s into the 1700s. The home in question has that hallmark regardless of when it was built.

Comments (7)Maybe use Cedral to give it a fresher look? I am not a professional, but I had it installed on my house, and it looks much better than the old facade. I am not sure whether it will be relevant to install Cedral here, but you can consult a tsl.uk professional about it. They are dealing with cases like this all the time, and maybe they will give you better advice on the topic than I can. I am unsure which color is better to choose in this case. I would make the house white, but you do you. Also, I would remove those reddish things near the windows because I don’t like how they look....See MoreRelated Professionals
