@lkloes thank you. We have been thinking about metal roof for long time. we didnt want to paint the brick.

Before replacing your roof, I would have it washed this spring. Then assess it. You have an interesting looking home...and that is good! The color is perfect. I’d focus on landscaping....

Agree with the above. I’d also possibly add brick where the black is in between the windows. Is that a possibility ? And where are the entry doors? Id make that more of a focus

@ptreckel we have been in the house for 5 years. The uniqueness in the architecture drew us. Also, we still can’t figure what architecture style this falls into. Farmhouse? Mid century? We have no idea but we enjoy the clean lines and minimal ness. That’s why we have been very careful to make any changes. Thank you again.

@HU-187528210 we have cedar siding as accent. Few years ago, I just stained with semi transparent and the wood looked nice. But to avoid periodic maintenance, it was stained solid black. Yes brick is possibility. Also will keep in mind the entry door focus. Thank you!

Oooh a metal roof would look fabulous! In the meantime, landscaping...

OMG do not place a black roof on this home. First, have it washed and examined. When you live in an area with trees it's important to keep this mildew to a minimum because it kills a roof quicker. A roof should last about 20 years and if the shingle edges are not curled and the nails are not popping out, then this roof is still good. Metal roofs are $$$ but do last forever.

You have a contemporary home of no particular style. It's not MCM because it was likely built in the '80s or '90s. It would be most likely called Shed because of the roof.

I think the trim, siding, and windows are painted just a bit too dark and should not be such a sharp contrast to the brick.

Once the roof is cleaned you could consider staining/painting the siding a lighter hue.

@lkloes thank you!

@BeverlyFLADeziner thank you for the detail input. The roof is in very good condition and we live in a wooded area. I plan to remove some trees on the periphery of the house. Will definitely try the lighter siding idea again. The house had natural wood siding before I stained it.

I would leave as is. Just add some landscaping and clean up the roof.

To compare with

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images thank you for taking time to put these together. These really help and I love the ideas.

I really like the colors BeverlyFLADeziner suggested. The roof does need to be cleaned or replaced. If you do replace it, stick to the same shingles.

@houssaon thank you. Will definitely keep that in mind.
