Modern, durable siding can create almost every architectural style, picking up patterns and classical colors while offering trouble-free maintenance and long-term value. The tasteful, artistic, and thorough execution of a classic theme sets this home apart from its neighbors. Warm colors and geometric shingle patters in the siding add interest and curb appeal to an otherwise traditional design. The clever use of a classic entablature and fascia provide the finishing touch. The mellow, smooth texture and warm colors of the panels contrast with the attention-grabbing layers of darker shingles, making this home a classic and contemporary delight at the same time. Cross-hatched fine work on the windows and casings, decorative patterns, and the detail in the cornice beneath the attic add formal appeal. There's nothing archaic about the window treatment, however, and the entire siding face can be easily and effortlessly maintained by soap, water, and occasional pressure washing.
