We don’t have to tell you that restoring the roofing and siding of your home is a big investment that can last decades. In an attempt to make homes as timeless as possible, many homeowners fall into the trap of beige. While playing it safe works, Eden Prairie homeowners looking for modern home exteriors can take the time to design and plan their siding and roofing colors before installation occurs.  

1. Get Inspired by Your Neighbors
Is there a house with shake in the gable? Does the color of trim really complement the siding choice? Go for a walk around the neighborhood and take note of what trends you like and what doesn’t work for you.

2. Search for Inspiration Online
Houzz.com is a great site for inspiration. You can see local projects and the contractors who did the work, making setting up the project even easier. Save photos or follow work that you like. Pinterest is also a great site for saving inspiring ideas.

3. Test Drive Siding and Roofing on Your House
Design visualizers such as Owens Corning DesignEyeQ and LP SmartSide allow you to upload a photo of your house and try out your design ideas. Your Trinity Exteriors sales rep can help you use these sites, and even suggest some great ideas if you’re completely lost as to what to do. Over 10 years of business, we have seen it all and can expertly guide you to a new home look you’ll love!
