Bolder colors give your
home a lively, more
dramatic appearance.
Softer, subdued tones
create a more restful
setting.
To make a smaller home
appear larger, use light,
coordinating colors of
similar intensities.
To make a larger home
appear less massive, use
dark, contrasting colors.
Contrasting colors
(opposites on the color
wheel) make a home with
simple, straight lines more
eye-catching.
Small homes look better
with fewer colors.
Larger, more ornate homes
can handle a main color
plus several accents.
Consider your home’s
orientation to the sun and
shade. Colors look brighter
under the glare of sun and
darker in shade.
Color is personal so choose
a palette that makes you
happy and reflects your
personality.

Choosing the best colors and siding style for your home
is fun and easy.
We oer a variety of options to complement your
home’s architectural design, set a tone, and accentuate
or downplay particular features. We can even change
the perception of your home’s size.
Traditional Lap
These profiles recreate the look of traditional clapboard
siding. They’re the most popular profiles because they
produce a classic look compatible with almost any
architectural style.
Dutch Lap
Dutch lap has strong shadow lines and is a popular
alternative to standard clapboard profiles. The
distinctive beveled panel design dates back to homes
built by Dutch settlers on the eastern seaboard.
Beaded
With a rounded bead at the bottom of each panel, this
profile creates deep shadow lines. Each course (or
row) recreates the look of a wide beaded clapboard.
Originating in the Southern United States, this profile
is an excellent choice for Georgian, Federal and other
Colonial styles.
Board & Batten
Seen from seaside villages to mountain retreats, this
rustic style works well as an accent and on the entire
home. It’s used to accent gables, dormers or to break up
large areas of horizontal siding. It’s also a popular choice
for homes with steeply pitched roofs such as Shed, Folk
Victorian and French Country styles.
Shingle, Shake and Half-Round Siding
These profiles are molded from cedar shingles and have
a rough texture suited to cape cod or craftsman styles.
They’re often used as an accent to highlight gables. The
halr-round is particularly suited to Victorian styles where
a gingerbread house eect is desirable.
