We have holes in our Masonite siding. We’ve had them in the past and were able to find someone to patch them up (band aid fix) knowing it was a temporary fix to give us time to figure out what we needed to do long term.
We’ve decided on Hardie Siding.
The question now is colors and design.
I want it to look like the house was built yesterday.
I do like the Tudor but I’m thinking this is a great opportunity to update (makeover) the house.

Some ideas

1. Board and baton on the 3 main window parts. Lap in between and back. Sides... board and baton lower rectangle and lap upper triangles.

2. lap all the way around.
   So I wasn’t a fan of lap siding until I saw the 7inch boards with white trim. It looked pretty sharp and kind of like a new build design.

3. Tudor but with updated more modern colors.

Our brick has orange/brown tones. Our roof red/brown tones. Our mortar matches the Monterey taupe.
I’m not opposed to the dark blues. My husband likes contrast between the trim n boards/plank.
I’ve looked at so many houses online and I just can’t find another Tudor like ours. Usually Tudors are asymmetrical.

The house is huge. Both sides have damage and can’t be fixed. This is such a daunting task. I’d appreciate any thoughts on colors or ideas on hardie designs.
