Saturday, September 13, 2014
While many people focus on the interior of their home when
it comes to remodeling projects, they should make sure that they don’t neglect
the exterior of their home. If you think that the outside of your home could
use a facelift, sometimes it takes more than just sprucing up the garden, or updating
your front doors. There are a few modern trends in particular that you may
want to consider outside of just the simple earth toned stucco.

Siding
is essential because it protects your home and everything inside of it.
Vinyl siding has become quite popular because it’s easy to maintain,
affordable, and comes in a wide variety of colors and styles for you to choose
from. No matter what kind of home design you have, you’re sure to find a vinyl
option that’s perfect for you and your tastes. One of the great things about
modern vinyl siding is that many companies have started to manufacture
realistic vinyl siding, such as half-round shingles, clapboard panels, and
rectangular cedar shingles. Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about
repainting any of these options.
Stone Face
Consider adding stone to your exterior home design around
the entryway and door. You’ll be able to choose from both synthetic and natural
versions. While you can always get actual stone for your home, chances are that
you’ll wind up crushing your finances in the process. Thankfully, technology
has made it possible for manufacturers to create realistic looking stone that
is sprayed on and carefully carved until it looks like the real deal.
Red Cedar
Red Cedar is a
unique option for exterior redesigns because it’s a classic material that
still manages to look contemporary. This particular option is durable,
versatile, and noted for its natural beauty. Your options for style include lap
siding, bevel siding, board and batten, and tongue and groove. Not only that,
but red cedar can also be stained into the hue of your choosing so that you
don’t have to compromise when it comes to the final color.
Fiber Cement Siding
If you don’t care for stone as the exterior of your home,
then you might want to consider fiber cement siding. Fiber cement siding is a
great option for homeowners who want to go green for their redesign. Some of
the most popular recent versions are panels manufactured to look like cedar
shingles, stucco, and wood clapboards. Not only is fiber cement siding
eco-friendly, it’s also fire resistant, almost maintenance-free and more
durable than natural wood.
Should you ever need any
help while deciding on the overall look of the exterior of your home, whether
it’s the windows, doors, or roof, don’t be afraid to turn to an experienced
home remodeling expert for some professional advice.
