Add contrast and character with shake, board and batten or stone on gables, entries, dormers and bump-outs.
A single accent wall can change the whole feel of a house. A gable end in cedar shake, a front entry in vertical boards, a bump-out in stone or a dormer in a contrasting color gives the eye a place to land and breaks up a long wall of the same material. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve curb appeal without re-siding the entire home.
Good accents come from restraint and planning. We walk the house with you, discuss where the eye naturally goes and choose a material and color that complement the main siding, the roof and the brick or stone. Transitions between materials are flashed and trimmed neatly, and the accent is aligned with windows, rooflines and architectural features so it looks designed rather than added on. We can even show how it will look by sketching options before work begins.
Gables, entries and bump-outs are natural focal points, and we help you decide where an accent will have the most impact.
We pair textures and colors that work with your roof, brick and trim instead of competing with them.
Where two materials meet we install flashing and trim so the line is sharp and weather tight.
An accent can be a weekend-sized job or a major facelift, and we plan to fit your timeline and budget.
