Choose Your Client’s Vinyl Siding Colors With Home Designer 2.0

You’re doing a new build or exterior home makeover for a client, and your client has wisely chosen vinyl siding as their exterior finish of choice — now it’s time to choose the vinyl siding colors.

Like many decisions that involve home finishes, choosing vinyl siding colors, trim and accents can be one of the most overwhelming and stressful decisions a homeowner will have to make. The outside of a home is the first thing people see. It is no surprise that a home’s curb appeal is a huge deal and can affect the overall impression of the house.

Most importantly, a home’s exterior colors and finishes can have a significant effect on its resale value. Curb appeal is essential when selling a home and poor curb appeal will exclude certain buyers from even looking at the home. Those who do look will discount the value.

Key Things to Consider When Deciding on The Exterior Color of a Home:

• The architectural style of the home. Especially historical colors in that region if the building is of a certain historical era.
• The client’s personal tastes. This will be one of the biggest determining factors as the homeowner must ultimately be happy with the end result.
• The home’s surroundings and natural setting; the home should blend in comfortably even if the colors chosen are bold.

As a home builder or remodeler, your clients will often look to you for advice and suggestions on their exterior finishes. Given the magnitude of the decision, you’ll want to engage the homeowner in the selection of their vinyl siding colors. Looking at tiny color swatches or material samples does not help clients visualize what the overall end result will look like. This is especially true when combining different colors or materials. Searching online for ideas can be helpful, but often it’s difficult to find the exact combination of the right home architecture, siding style, color, trim and accents.
