I have a simple 2 story colonial.

13 years ago
I plan to use hardi plank lap siding to keep the clapboard look.
I was told that 4" reveal creates too many shadow lines. Would a 6" reveal be acceptable if I was going for a Williamsburg colonial look or perhaps 5". thank you. I live in New York. Simple house with 4 windows on front (8 over 8)

    Thanks for contacting us. A 5" or 6" reveal is best for the exact reason you mentioned. I would suggest 5" with the size house you seem to be describing; you don't want to do too large if the scale of your home is not large. Good luck!
