​Easy ways to beautify and protect your home exterior this season

1/20/2016

5 Comments

 
When considering home improvements, people often picture costly, time-intensive endeavors. But enhancing and protecting your home this season can be enjoyable-and deliver plenty of bang for your buck. For easy, high-impact ways to upgrade homes, rely on distinctive Mid-America Siding Components from The Tapco Group.

One of the fastest, easiest way to dramatize your home's windows is to install vibrantly colored window headers and matching shutters. Decorate the sides and back of the home exterior too, not just curbside. With the emergence of outdoor living and yards as gathering places, elegant window décor creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Trend-wise, board-and-batten shutters are on the move, while raised-panel shutters are the most sought-after. Black is ever-popular for shutters and headers, and neutral colors are holding their own. But the trend toward richer tones is growing. Lush forest greens, autumn reds and deep blues are gracing more homes, creating attention-grabbing contrasts between shutters and siding. For the main entryway, understated white or cream door surrounds complement richly-toned shutters.
"Shutters and matching window headers are the easiest way to upgrade your home if you don't want a massive undertaking, but want the biggest impact for your investment," says Trisha Anderson, of Tapco.  "Shutter and header colors change everything by enhancing the tone of your whole home. You'll gain more satisfaction from rich-colored matching shutters and headers than from virtually any other exterior home improvement."

Decorative hardware on shutters is another easy, economical way to upgrade exteriors. Yet this fine detail often gets overlooked. Beautifully crafted shutters pop on homes, adding dimension and drawing attention. Today's vinyl shutters look indistinguishable from functional shutters, boosting curb appeal.

During new construction or exterior remodeling, fiber cement mounting blocks offer a simple, affordable way to enrich architectural beauty and provide water management capabilities that prevent costly damage to fiber cement, stucco and wood siding. See our many innovative solutions for mitigating water in fiber cement cladding.  "It's an essential detail that protects home investments long-term, enhances aesthetics, is easily installed, and saves contractors time."


Distinguishing and fortifying home exteriors has never been easier. With James Hardie Products by Pro Exterior, you can make a huge impact this season that lasts a lifetime.

As a homeowner, I am always looking for different opportunities to develop my home interior and exterior conditions. It includes some changes in the exterior part, especially the doors and windows. Apart from these, we should also follow some seasonable changes in our home decors, so that we can easily deal with climate change. I really appreciate this post and the instruction present here.

I want to make the exterior of my home look nice, but I'm not sure how to put that together. It makes sense that I would want to consider getting some vinyl cladding put up! That seems like a great way to ensure that it ends up looking good.
