If you think your home needs a makeover, residential siding can be a great place to start! However, Sam Boak and the residential siding experts at Boak & Sons know this can be a really difficult decision to make. Choosing the right siding color is a big step and can make a huge difference in your home’s appearance, so we understand that you want to make sure you do it right. We’ve installed thousands of new siding jobs, so we know what homeowners look for! That’s why our siding department is sharing some tips on what to look for when you’re deciding on new residential siding. Here’s what we recommend to consider:
- What color are your shingles?
This might not seem like it, but it really does make a difference! It all depends on your personal style and preference, but many people like to have a residential siding color that compliments their roof. For example, we’ve seen many people with black or gray shingles choose a complimentary siding color like Slate or White. Sam Boak has plenty of samples we can show you of both shingles and siding so you can get a better idea of what the two colors will look like together!
- What colors are your neighbor’s homes?
Strange question right? But hear us out – you might want to either blend in with the neighborhood, or maybe you want to stand out! Either way, paying attention to your neighbors’ siding colors can help you make a decision about your own. Maybe your neighbor has a siding color that you really like! That can help you visualize what the siding looks like when it’s all installed on a home.
- What colors are you drawn to?
Just because it’s your home’s siding doesn’t mean it can’t represent your personality! Many people feel that their residential siding color needs to be muted colors like white or tan. However, some of the most beautiful houses we’ve worked on and Sam Boak has seen have colors like dark green, blue or red installed. Don’t be afraid to go outside the box with your siding colors! Or, if you prefer a more muted, neutral look, we have plenty of tans, whites and other neutrals to choose from to get your that modern farmhouse look that’s so popular right now too.
Siding color can be an intimidating decision to make. Sam Boak highly recommends doing some research and taking notes of different colors you like before you set up your estimate, that way you know what you’re looking for! Once you’ve narrowed it down, give our residential siding experts a call at 330-793-5646 or schedule your estimate on our website. Quality of the siding (and the installer) matters, so be sure to contact us for your siding needs!
