Choosing the Best Vinyl Siding Color for You

Choosing to have new polyvinyl cladding installed on your home is an important decision, but you will soon find that you have another major decision to make: choosing the right vinyl siding color for your home. When done carefully, this is a process that can take some time, but you will eventually make the best choice. It is in your best interest to collect several samples and be sure to ask your contractor his or her opinion as well. Collecting as many good samples as possible from a variety of sources will be a major step towards choosing the right vinyl siding color.

Once you have collected plenty of samples, take some time to scrutinize them thoroughly. It will help to spread them all out across a tabletop so you are able to look at all of them at once. If you are making this decision with other friends or family members, make sure they are present during this process as well so they can share their opinions as well. Right off the bat take out any samples that you immediately do not like or do not think look good on your home. This helps to greatly narrow down your choices so you will feel less overwhelmed.

The next step to choosing the perfect vinyl siding color is to consider how you would like your home to look. Most individuals already have an idea of the right color or look they would like for their homes, so use this to your advantage. For example, you may want your house to look modern, or old fashioned; you might desire warm colors or cool colors. Do your best to go through your stack of samples and choose the ones that you think will best create the look and feel of the ideal image you already have in your head. If possible, do your best to narrow down your decision to 3 or 4 colors. If you are looking for a safe choice, go for neutral tones such as white or beige.

Take the handful of samples that remain outside so you can get a good look at them in natural sunlight. You should do this at different times of the day as well so you can have a better idea of how they will look throughout the day. When you perform this step, you should hopefully be able to remove a few more samples that you do not think will go well. Once again, ask the opinion of somebody else in order to help you further narrow things down. Of course, you are the only one who is able to tell for sure if you like a certain color or not.

Once you have followed the steps listen above you should be able to choose the right vinyl siding color for you.
