Need help with Exterior!

11 years ago

I need to do exterior work on my house. I will be adding a front porch/overhang, as well as changing the door. What color advice do you have for the siding and shutters? What should I do with the paneling next to the front door? Brick it or paint to save money? The garage door is a light grey. Shrubbery will be removed and redone as well. Thank you so much!

Do you dislike the current color scheme?

I would replace the panels beside your entry doors with brick. It is unlikely that you would find matching brick.

the color of your roof is not visibile. when you add the porch, the roof will need to be considered in your paint scheme. given your dark brick, I would want the new roon on the porch to be dark. what is the color of your current roof? will it remain the same?
