Changing the color of your siding is one way to freshen up your curb appeal, especially if you plan to put your home on the market sometime soon. But before you go ahead and choose one, here are a few tips to help you make the right decision:

1. Glance around your neighborhood - what do you see? Is there a particular color scheme that your neighbors follow? While you don’t want your home to look identical to the one across the street, you also don’t want yours to stick out like a sore thumb either. So, if you find that your neighbors’ homes all have a neutral color palette, consider choosing a similar shade.

2. Consider your landscape - from trees to shrubs, and even your patio design, you want your landscaping to match the exterior of your home without anything appearing to be out of place. With that being said, take a step back and observe how different colors would look against your house - if one color clashes, consider opting for another shade.

3. Think about the size of your house - is it on the larger side or the smaller side? While you might love darker colors, a charcoal or black hue might not look so great if your house is big. Why? Because sometimes darker colors can be too overpowering for a large surface. However, if you home is small, a darker color might add some character to it.

4. Look at your roof - what color is it? When it comes to choosing siding colors for your home, one final tip to keep in mind is how it will look against your roof. If your roof is a darker color, try sticking with a light shade for your siding, and if your roof is on the brighter side, think about warming things up a bit. When all is said and done, the way your siding looks against your roof is a huge factor to take into consideration.
