Really could use some help. Of course we have a tight budget but want to get the best bang for our investment. The house is all brick except for the painted wood siding that is pictured. We are thinking of replacing the wood with either vinyl siding or faux stone. I prefer to do faux stone but I am not sure if it is worth the price and will look okay against brick. Any ideas on what type of stone to choose or what color vinyl. Also we want to replace the garage door but I am not sure about what type of door to get or color.

So far all the bushes have been removed except for the tall ones on the right side of the door. The bushes under the window have been removed as well.

Thank you!
