Successful home exterior renovations are planned properly and carefully. You must choose the features that you will change or add wisely. The new and existing components must blend well together.
A trusted roof repair and replacement expert shares common design mistakes to avoid when renovating your home’s exterior.
Your home can look messy or all over the place, especially if they have varying muntin patterns. Muntins refer to the small pieces that separate glass panes in windows. Keep in mind that come muntin patterns are confined to specific architectural styles. For instance, Prairie muntins don’t complement Craftsman and Arts and Crafts home styles.
Installing dormers are a great way to break up the roofline. However, oversized dormers can make the upper portion of your home look bulky. As a result, your home’s facade will appear unbalanced. Moreover, a skilled roofing contractor can help you decide the best features to add to your roof.
Think twice about planting English Ivy or Japanese honeysuckle in your garden. These plants may look appealing, but they are invasive and can cause damage to your home. These plants tend to thrive in different conditions. You can review the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) list of invasive plants before purchasing any foliage.
There’s nothing wrong with mix and matching siding materials as long as they complement each other, and you don’t overdo it. You shouldn’t use a different color or material for every wall of your exterior. If you use more than two or three types of surfaces, your home’s exterior will look cluttered and busy.
