-Certainteed Moire Black - feels clean but don’t want “farmhouse” keeping windows and gutters white to go for more timeless look

-Georgetown Grey - anyone have this color and can speak to how it looks in real life? I’ve been told it can read green…my ideal color is a dark grey but struggling to find one in this shingle line

-Weathered Wood - seems like this one has some browns and could tie in the walnut garage doors. I worry this one could be too warm and washed out.

Paint is white dove, garage and front door walnut.

Would love any feedback or suggestions.

We bought this house a month ago and as much as the extra large additional room is a beauty on the inside, it's horrendous on the outside. Other than a good power wash, how can we make this more appealing?

I am looking for someone who can help me pick out siding colors and coordinating brick for the foundation of my house and render a drawing using the monogram colors. Does anyone know someone who does this for a reasonable price? I’m in North Jersey but I guess it doesn’t really matter. It could be someone anywhere. It’s a very big decision and I am frozen. I want to update the house and will eventually do new landscape.

We have to replace the front windows on this porch. Planning to go with a different look for the curb appeal. My wife and I are close in opinion as what we should do, but we are looking for outside opinions.

1. Three identical 48" tall slider style windows equally spaced across the the front wall.

2. 2 Twin slide open windows about 48"tall. The middle window a bay style window with two side windows that open still about 48" tall but about 30% wider than the 2 outside windows.

3. 2 slider windows on the outside corners, a front door with sidelight windows and a set of pine wooden steps that lead up to the house.

Your ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

TL/DR We live in an adobe house with black accents and trim and need new garage doors. I need help picking a style and color.

About 6 months ago we moved in to our home after an absolutely hellish 3 year remodel-- the GC walked off the project and we had to finish it ourselves. While the interior, covered patio, and trellises are done, the exterior still needs some work.

*garage doors enter chat*

These garage doors are original to the home making them almost 25 years old. They're sun bleached, stained, and stylistically a mismatch... an eyesore, if you will. The Clopay Canyon Ridge^(®) Chevron series doors are *chefs kiss* my favorite. However, at $11,000+ each, installed, they're not really an option.

We live in Phoenix where it is currently hotter than the surface of the sun. The doors face south so durability and insulation are high on our list of priorities. However, we use the garage as a gym and theres limited natural light. Small insulated windows across the top, either clear or frosted, would be a nice addition. I used AI to generate a variety of color and style combinations and marked my personal favorite with a red star.

If anyone has any strong opinions on the best color or style for our house, as well as manufacturers we should check out, I would greatly appreciate it!!

ETA2: Would like to spend ~$12-14k installed for both.

The houses are existing so please no recommendations about colors or structure which cannot be changed.

We are onto the exterior lighting design phase and I am terrible at this. Help! Unfortunately we cannot run lighting on the stairs which is often recommended. This is the best I could come up with - would welcome all your suggestions! Thank you :)

There is a large step down from our sliding glass door. We really need some type of stable step down, but I’m not sure what our options are with the ground there being river rock. Thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Not comfortable with AI to enter pictures of the house into it. Please help me think of landscape ideas for this large lot with broken sprinklers.

A water-saving solution with curb appeal would be great. Still deciding if this is a DIY project or if we hire someone. Would love to make big improvements for less than $2000.

The grass grows and browns quickly, and the weeds even quicker, especially on the verge between the sidewalk and the street. I’d like to keep some greenery with less of it requiring mowing. Large hedge on the the left corner of the lot that gathers trash from passersby :(

There’s also a little patch that we don’t know what to do with between the driveway and the neighbors lot. What makes sense there besides the trash cans?

Zone 6a, south facing, at least 8 hours of direct sun a day.

I m struggling for very good Colour Combinations + I have a big garden and boundary and the gate is big too. I m looking for like eye appeasing ones and have a little soft space for aesthetic combinations.

We're getting new siding, roof, shutters, and the front door needs painted. The gutters, windows, and brick are staying. My aim is to make it feel less stark and soften the contrast. I also want to stay traditional but not boring beige.

If you could pick any color for the siding, shutters, and door what would it be? If you had to pick one of the color options attached which would it be? OR keep the siding white but change the shutter and door colors?

I'm leaning towards an earthy grey-green (sage?) or possibly a blue. I don't feel like there had been a color that really jumps out as my favorite from the color swatches we have from our contractor (Certainteed and Norandex). The last few photos are examples of the siding color options. Some of them seem to look so different depending on sun vs cloud cover and changes the whole feel (i.e. It gets way too green in sunlight).

I just keep going around and around and can't settle.

We've owned our 1940's split level in the SF Bay Area for about 15 years. It's on a quiet street lined with Sycamore trees, one of our favorite features of the house. I've never been enamored with the shape or architectural style of the house, if it even has one, but my wife correctly lobbied for this place because the neighborhood is so great. It's time for us to repaint our house and it feels like a good opportunity to make the exterior feel more thoughtfully done. Also considering some updates to the landscaping on the right side of our front yard. I'd be really grateful for advice on color choices. Trim will stay light colored since we have a few fiberglass framed windows that we don't wish to paint. Our goal is for the house to feel contemporary and considered. Ideally less boring (to me) and bland.

Sage / green tint body was the direction I was leaning, but we both realized that more than 1/2 of the houses on our street have shifted to that pallet over the past couple years. 4 of our 6 immediate neighbors have sage based color pallets. So that's not out of the running, but looking for other ideas / inspiration. The photos attached hopefully show our currently color accurately, but it's a gray / greige body with white / ivory hued trim. Our house faces almost due north.

Landscaping ideas would be a helpful bonus. The camellias in front of our somewhat huge picture window are lovely when they're flowing and provide privacy - no curtains or desire for curtains on that window. Otherwise it's a pretty blank slate.

Thank you!

Hi, I’ve owned my home since 2022 and have hardly touched it other than painting the door (kind of poorly) last year. My husband and I have a little money to put into curb appeal now, and I’d love some help improving the facade and curb appeal. I’m terrible at this sort of thing! All advice welcome. Thank you!

Ignore the chalk on the stone, pretend it’s all white :)

Please advise me on the color of my front door.
I’m thinking either stripping it to the original wood and staining/sealing it, or painting it a dark blue or black. I feel like burgundy or burnt red would be too much on the red brick but please correct me if I’m wrong :)

Hi we want to keep most of the house white. We will probably change some of the side to blue (it's currently grey but I've changed it to blue with photoshop in one of the attached pictures.). What would you recommend painting the shutters and door?

Needing a new garage door and front door and thinking about this cedar plank look. The cedar plank that you see on the side of the house will be restained either way. Is this look a yes or a no? The alternative is a light matching garage door with windows but I have never liked the large white square feeling of our garage door.

Edit: I'm not talking about the brick lol.

I'm fixing to work on the exterior of the house and I'm having trouble trying to figure out the color scheme. The paint has always looked off to me. I just need some ideas if y'all could l!

Thanks!
