exterior siding/deck color to match Weathered Wood color shingle roof
Comments (1)We have the same problem. I know you posted this a loooong time ago but I'm curious what you ended up doing>...See MoreHelp with picking exterior colors - roof, siding, shutters
Comments (13)We had a hailstorm last year and had to have our roof replaced. Where we live several houses were having their roofs replaced and our HOA calls for you to have the color “weathered wood”. We started noticing lots of roofs being replaced and the newer shingles are very speckled looking! a house that has a lot of variation in the brick can really look a little crazy if the roof is speckled also. I would just be really careful picking what looks like architectural shingles using sample pictures. If you call the roofing supplier or your roofer they should be able to give you addresses of the colors of shingles you’re interested in so you could actually drive to by that home and see the shingles on an actual home. We found it very helpful and the color “weather wood” is very different looking across different brands of roofing. We chose Malarkey brand their Legacy line in “Weathered Wood” color upgrading to the class 4 impact resistant shingles. you also might check with your insurance company because we paid a little extra to get the class 4 impact resistant shingle and we get a discount on our insurance. Just a few things I learned while picking Roofing last year!...See MoreExterior - roof, windows, siding, trim
Comments (3)Thank you both! I’m not sure if the hip roof is in the budget, but i agree it would soften it, make it not stick out so much. An arbor may be more affordable but i think i would need to add a matching arbor somewhere else maybe over the window left of the porch to balance it. Yea, once the tree grows taller it will be ok but right now it blocks the entry. Thanks again for your input!...See MoreNeed help with my exterior upgrade dilemmas--roof, siding, trim
