Need exterior door ideas
I am getting ready to put new siding on my house. I hate how they have siding around the door. But I also hate doors with window side panels. What else can I put there?

Exterior Ideas Needed: 1929 brick home needs new siding
Comments (16)@gracie01 brick veneer (not structural), if old and moisture gets in, can falter and fall. It's not the brick that fails, it's the wall ties holding the brick to the backing material, either wood or metal framing or another brick or stone wythe that fails.Failed wire brick tie. In some cases, through negligence or ignorance there may not even be ties! Edinburgh Oxgangs Primary School veneer wall collapse. No ties used at all, according to a BBC investigation. Brick veneer is largely a 20th C. phenomena, with the first documented use occurring in 1899. As the metal ties rust away, support is lost and the veneer moves. In only one municipality I've built in, were longer-lived stainless ties required. Otherwise there were no requirements re ties. If the mason were supplying ties, count on the cheapest and flimsiest available. In the house we're currently living in, the masons used nails to tie the brick to the structural block. Where the back of the block is visible in the garage, around the end of each nail a quarter sized section of block has fallen off as the nail rusted. The house will be demolished by the next buyer, so there's no concern....See Moreexterior door, steps and trim color ideas

Get rid ogf those shutters they do not work with those windows, do a double front door and if you don’t want glass just solid ones. I personally want to see who is at my door before opening it so if you go the solid get a system for seeing the person at the door. What color siding are you getting ? I would suggest a gray/ green to work with the brick and paint the garage door the same.A door like this will still allow some light but no sight line into the house . This is the color of siding and garage door I suggest.
