25 Oct Extending Your Home's Exterior, Part III

Homeowners often ask us, “What are some popular trends in exterior home improvements?” Licensed general contractor and Universal Roof and RbA Director of Sales, Jim Sellers, has the answer!
“Last time we discussed trends in siding and the appearance of more homeowners choosing fiber cement siding, like Hardie®. Another thing people are now considering for their home exterior, is this: when it’s time to replace their roof, by improving the stylistic qualities of the roof, they can dramatically enhance the beauty of their home.
Rather than choosing a simple architectural shingle, you can really make an impression with an improved asphalt shingle or one of the many varieties of metal roofs. Traditional metal looks like a panel, and stone coated steel materials can assume the appearance of tile, shake or shingles. Spending a little more money for one of these hearty departures from the norm is well worth it and will really make your home stand out among the rest.”
