PLEASE HELP: Exterior house color? (Florida)
Comments (46)I was thinking shingle roof when I mentioned the mix of light colors. While a shingle roof would have multiple shades of gray, metal roofs would be, as far as I know, one solid color -- some light colors and some dark. If you have decided on a metal roof -- great idea -- then, see if you can find white metal roofs in your area and see if they look good on the roof to you. Personally, I'd rather have the house painted white and then choose a light colored roof -- a light gray or tan (but not a white roof) ... especially if there are any trees anywhere near the house. Some trees are worse than others for dropping sap and some show bird poop and such worse than others -- things that would actually wash off a metal roof in the rain better than they'd wash off a shingle roof. If, however, you like the white roof that much better, you could always take a hose pipe to rinse off anything that shows enough to bother you. While there are light green an light blue modern metal roofs as well as the light gray ones -- and medium and dark gray roofs. Either white or gray would be more neutral should you ever want to change your house color again or sell the house to someone that might. Consider taking the time to actively look for a few in your area and see how they look once they've been installed for a while. Perhaps they don't show stain as much as I suspect they would. Perhaps the local Lowes or Home Depot could give you the general location of some where people that bought white metal for the roof and had them installed....See MoreNeed Help with Exterior House Paint
Comments (7)I really like your shutter color. But I would go with a warmer gray that looks like it came from your stone for the siding. It is too aqua leaning for me. I like these gray colors. Just plug in colors for the doors. Not that you should change yours....See MoreHelp With Exterior House colors
Comments (7)Pull down the bushes first and get a better look at the house after they’re down. I do not think a wood railing for the porch is worth the money as long as the current iron railing is stable and secure. The money and time you’d spend on that would be better spent on paint for the siding. Since the strong brown roof is about half the facade (and it’s staying for awhile), I would suggest you match that color as closely as possible and then look for a tan color down the paint strip from that. Not a very light brown but something less than medium saturated. Consider a light blue/green/yellow door and get rid of or get a new storm door with less aluminum showing — maybe wood painted the same color but with a lot of glass /screen surface. No shutters because you don’t have the wall space to make them the appropriate size. Get a larger light fixture that hooks out from the house. What is the black blob next to the front door? Take all that off and find some large decorative house numbers...See MoreNeed Help with EXTERIOR house color
Comments (4)If I understood your request, you want to color the brick flower bed borders? A paint or stain made for brick and other masonry is advised. These change the color without changing the texture or ability of the brick to breath. A limewash will lighten the brick, but if you want color, you should get Romabio as this mineral paint is tintable to a color of your choice. You could also use it on the walls around your pool....See MoreD M PNW
