What is a key tip or hack when it comes to picking out siding?

When choosing color there are a few things to consider. The style and era of your home—Be mindful of the color tones in any stone, roofing, and decking with siding, and look at your home’s landscaping/location. For example, heavily wooded/shaded areas will make colors appear darker if there isn’t a lot of direct light. If you are struggling with choosing color, we are here to help! Visit diamondkotesiding.com to use our Home Visualizer. You can upload a drawing or photo of your home to test different color options. Not sure what colors go together?
