Ranch exterior paint and new roof options

9 years ago

Hello. We are about to redo the siding of our house and will need to repaint the exterior. Right now it is painted a taupe with black shutters.

What are your thoughts on the shutters; repaint them black or change the color or remove them? We also are getting a new roof and are just beginning to look at options for that as well. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

Remove the shutters they do not belong on those windows or that style of house. A MCM door would be nice . Choose roof first then color for siding and last the door color.. IMO the landscaping could use a bit of a refresh too

Could you be a bit more specific.? You basically just restated what I said in my design dilemma. Ha :). I am seeking help in Color suggestions. The shutters and door were here when we purchased. Thanks for your opinion on removing them. Most ranch style homes in Florida have shutters. What do you suggest in lieu ?

Hi Paige, you are so lucky to be doin new siding and roofing and color changes all at the sametime! Makes the choices limitless! I too would remove the shutters, in their place you can play with siding options that include vertcal and board and batten sytles to add character. Metal roofs are also great looking. Some of the navy blue homes, some of the darker tones of grey and brown are very stricking. What are your plans for the brick? Repaint or Stone over it is another way to go that can completely give a facelift. Select and share your inspiration photos too!
