Installing new siding is an excellent way to refresh your home’s exterior. But using the wrong color can be disastrous, leaving your home less attractive and potentially affecting its resale value. That’s why the expert roofing and siding contractors from Guaranteed Roofing in Jenks, OK, are here with their guide to three major factors to consider when choosing a color for new siding.

Top 3 Factors to Choosing the Right Siding Color

1. Home Size

The size of your house will change what effect the siding color has on its appearance. For larger homes, dark-colored siding can result in an intimidating look. Bright colors, however, may make the home stand out too much. Smaller homes usually fare better with darker shades, but your siding contractor can make suggestions based on your home size, style, and the look of nearby homes.

2. Roof Type

Whether your roofing contractor installed a gray metal roof or a red tile roof with ceramic shingles, your roofing material and color will change which siding colors match. Colors should complement each other or provide a pleasant contrast, so dark roofs and lighter siding work well together.

3. Surroundings & Landscaping

Is your house surrounded by flat desert and cacti, hills and evergreens, or deciduous forest? The landscaping and appearance of the surrounding area will change what works and what doesn’t. Your siding contractor will have suggestions, but colorful landscaping means fewer flashy siding colors will work. For monotone landscapes, bright siding is a better fit.
