Trouble deciding what siding design to choose.

2 years ago

I have attached some options for designs welcome to critiques or if anyone has suggestions. Hard to make design choices due to sloping in front of house.

    Show the existing home. All your renderings are not good.

    Sorry the renderings aren’t that good, this is just what a the contractors are sending me.

    One style siding for the entire house. Either all vertical, all horizontal or all stone. It's too haphazard a look to have three different sidings on one house.

    I agree one style and IMO a color from the stone and why are contractors designing the exterior of your home , you do know they really do not care easier for them is always the choice.

    They are not really designing the house, they were giving me options since I am stumped on what to do since the house is not symmertical. In your opinion is the stone too much on the first option? They are open to any changes.

    I like the first one w/the navy. pretty color. I like the vertical w/the shake above. not too busy

    is the stone a must? I see you're removing that rock, can you keep it off entirely or did you want a stone accent?

    you could try something like this















    is there a style or inspo pic that you're trying to copy?

    Here are pics of the home.

    Because the home looks so squat in appearance, I'd consider installing all vertical board and batten siding on the house.





    Here is the home next door so that nothing recommended is duplicated.



    If this isn't done, then tree trimming should be the very first item on your list of things to do.

    That evergreen on the side of the house should be cut down. There is no hope in trimming it.

    All the branches on the trees in the front yard should be trimmed back high enough so that you can walk underneath them all.






    Is that window in front a bedroom or living room window.? I'd consider changing out the window in the front.


    I'd also address that grading in the front yard. Maybe it requires a retention wall and terracing. Maybe that's where the stone should be placed. Not on the home itself.

    Wow, thank you guys! It really is so helpful, siding will be first, and getting rid of that evergreen on the house was already the plan. I really appreciate it as I have no idea how to choose siding for this house. When you say here’s a picture of the other house so nothing recommended be duplicated, what do you mean by that? Can a retaining wall be put up right on the houses siding, it won’t ruin the siding and make it rot or anything like that. Thank you again!
