Minnesota Exterior Remodeling: Why You Should Choose White and When

Once you’ve decided to do some exterior remodeling to your home here in the Minneapolis area, the first step is to choose materials.

The next is to select color.

Have you considered white?

White works with just about any type of home. It is the most common and universally used shade for exterior home color schemes. However, there are times when choosing another color might be beneficial but often white is the most appropriate color to go with. Here are those times and reasons.

Give Your Home a Little Character with White Accents

When you choose white, you don’t have to make the entire home white with siding. You can give it a little ‘pop’ by accenting with white.

For example, choose a siding color that will that blend well with the white for the trim.

Or perhaps the reverse may give you the look you’re going for – white siding with a dark color trim.  Right now black and dark brown window frames are very popular, and black and white is a traditional exterior home color combination.

Of course, you want to show off the beautiful look of your home with a color combination that is charming and attractive. Both classic and contemporary homes both look great in white, but it might be time for a change if you take a look at the rest of the homes on your street.

A White Exterior Is Great for Beating the Heat

If you want to keep your home warm during the hotter months of the year, then white is a great color to go with. Both roofing and siding contractors will tell you that white can reduce the costs of cooling your home down during the summer months. This is because the lighter colors (especially white) repel sunlight rather than absorbing it. Choosing white for your home’s exterior can provide better energy efficiency.

White Lets You Show Off the Details of Your Home

When it comes to the architecture of the home, you want to make sure that you’re showing off the details that really make the house stand out. Using the white on the molding, the window frames, the trim and other architectural features can essentially bring more to the color that surrounds them. It also brings a little more visual weight then going with a solid white color.

Here are more tips for choosing the right siding color for your home.
