Our current shingles (pictured) are a burnt sienna color and keep falling off as previous owners used a contractor who did not know how to shingle a mansard roof. We are leaning towards new Certainteed shingles maxdef in weathered wood. We considered pewterwood, but worry it will bring out the pink in our brick. We are looking at the Quest mastic siding in harbor grey, but I’m worried it may be too dark (especially on back of house which faces north and gets very little light). Also thinking of having gutters be a brown tone on front and back, but not along sides, like this house at : https://www.houzz.com/photos/exterior-traditional-exterior-minneapolis-phvw-vp~365428 Any thoughts?

It looks like where there is siding it is against the brick, not so much against the roof. So focus more on choosing siding that looks good with the brick. I agree with you that the Harbor Gray is probably too dark. Make sure you don't choose anything that leans blue as that will emphasize any orange in the brick.

This is one of my faves with brick and I bet would look awesome if you did this same thing with all th trim and siding and garage door . Gutters are not design elements so match the roof

I also liked that combo of the green with the brick and we tried it out a few years back. When we switched back to a creamy white, we had more compliments from neighbors—I guess they were not a fan of the green!

Ben Moore Sparrow and White Dove trim.

^Nice with the Sparrow and White Dove.

That green from Patricia can be gorgeous with brick. However, I tend to agree with your neighbors regarding the white in this case.

I would want your new shingles to appear more of a solid color vs anything variegated. Just thinking too much pattern in the roof would look busy with the brick.

Will you change all the trim and garage door colors and windows too? can we get a close up of the brick for the mortar color? for me the brick is warm, so i would go with a nice cream. my trim and siding is duron? hayseed, a nice classic cream that goes well with my orange brick. all my vinyl windows are white (put in before we bought the house) and i would have put in cream windows. its very stark and makes the siding and trim look off. and for the siding i would do a wider one, at least 8 inches.

Like you we replaced old wood windows with white vinyl. We should have gone with cream, but it’s too late now. So we plan to keep bay windows, garage and fascia/trim the soft white color we have now, so the white vinyl windows don’t look out of place. Here’s close up pic of brick with white vinyl window. We have some grey in brick which is why I was thinking of looking at grey tone siding. Considering Scottish Thistle if we go with weathered wood roof. And we’re replacing our front door with 4/panel glass double doors painted in BM Wrought Iron. It will look like this: https://pin.it/3YOIOvQ

Thanks for all the great feedback. Sounds like we may want to keep siding in neutral tone. I’m also worried about shingles that may have too much variation and am considering pewterwood or something close to this home.

It looks great. And the darker gutters will be perfect. The house definitely looks “fresh”.

The final product with new roof, siding, sofitts, fascia, gutters, and front doors finished just before Thanksgiving. There were so many decisions to be made, but we were guided by some great roofing pros (Corley Roofing) and feedback from this forum. Thankful for all the input!

Looks great!

Love it!!

Great choices!

Looks so good!
