Please help garage door and trim colors

6 years ago

I thought I had everything picked out but some of my picks I can’t get so I really need help. I will post the elevation in comments and sample brick. For sure we are doing Walmac brick with ivory mortar. We had planned on black sable roof with dark bronze soffits, facia, windows and Garage doors. Clay color shake in front and clay on back.

Issue 1- cant get bronze windows. White or clay - leaning white since interior has all white trim and don’t know if I want clay color windows inside.

Issue 2- can’t get dark bronze garage doors darkest in our price range is terratone. Will it look funny having terratone garage doors and dark bronze soffits and facia And white windows?


the windows will have no grills. I feel like I am going to have a mess and I want it to look nice. also garage door on back can be white I really don’t car white trim in back is fine with me I was just hoping to not have white doors on the front. Any help and insight is appreciated but please don’t say change your plans. They are exactly what we want and we love. Thank you!!!

    Are you already building, or just planning?

    This is not a custom house?

    Just started excavatioN. The plan is custom. But builder is building more like a spec/semi custom with allowances. we get to pick out everything but the cost to upgrade the windows is more than we want to go. I think I will see how much the 2 front garage doors are to go to dark bronze.

    I think I will see how much the 2 front garage doors are to go to dark bronze.

    Garage doors may be painted.

    I would suggest eliminating the gable, and reducing the pitch of the roof. Looking at the front elevation I see the garage and the roof -- not the first two things you want someone to notice.

    If you can make those changes, you should save money that might be spent elsewhere.

    Terratone looks like a nice color with the brick. Something similar for the windows, front door, and sofiits/facia would be nice but sounds like you can't get that. You mentioned about having the clay color inside - are you getting vinyl windows? I think clay windows inside with clay (or similar) or white fascia and soffit could work well

    Could you also get clay for the garage and front door?


    White can also work as long as it can "pop" from the brick. The picture below represents the "pop", not necessarily the colors we are talking about.




    Dark trim at fascia and soffit can still be used:



    Selecting Terratone for the garage door would work best if the fascia and soffits are of similar color.


    See if you can get color samples of the various materials (roofing, soffits/fascia, doors, windows) and then play mix and match together outside so you get outdoor light, if you have not already done this.


    Let me know if any of this helps.

    Thank you Chollis. On Windows we are limited to white or clay. For soffit and facia any color we just really liked the dark bronze since the roof we Like is really dark but we can change to another color. For garage doors we can do all shades from white up to terratone after that the darker ones are more expensive.

    Sounds like you have nice flexibility there. Have fun getting your house built! Let us know how it turns out.

    We ended up doing Walmac with ivory buff. windows we went white. Garage door Walnut. Gutters we did dark bronze but soffit and fascia we did Mist (Buff)which blends with the brick. I love the brick! Your home sounds beautiful!
