Your home is your favorite place to be. Whether you are a newer homeowner or have had the same address a decade or more, there is still that feeling of pride whenever you return. So what is trending in 2023 for homeowners in SE Pennsylvania? JL Roofing & Siding has a few ideas to share that will broaden that feeling of pride as you work together to improve your top investment, your beautiful home.
Sustainable materials are trending for your home’s exterior. Just as we are looking for ways to reuse and recycle in multiple areas of our lives, our homes are now shifting towards the use of more sustainable materials. It makes sense for our homes — we want their exteriors to look good and last a long time. Hardie plank siding is just one of the long-lasting materials we will discuss with you to achieve durability.
Metal roofing is long-lasting and tough. Resistant to what the sun, wind, and precipitation can deliver to our area of southeastern PA, metal roofing has proven itself to be sustainable as well as durable. It lasts longer than most other types of roofing materials and has the look of the future as well as the past. The color choices are probably more than you realize, too!
Mixing textures creates curb appeal. Today’s look can be modern or traditional, and mixing textures on the exterior of your home will add visual interest that will be admired from the curb to the front door. The combinations of wood, stone, and brick are endless and can be updated using a block look, or by lime-washing your brick. In combination with traditional siding or Hardie plank siding you can create a look that reflects you.
The industrial look is moving into home design. Until recently, cities have had the industrial look to themselves, but no longer. The idea of using reclaimed wood and brick along with concrete to create a rougher, more industrialized aesthetic has become popular across the country. This look tends to be more indicated in a modern home design, and we are here to work with your ideas.
Windows – black framing, better designing. Windows have seen a shift in design in recent years. The look now is trending more toward the black framing, along with gutters and downspouts, too. Additionally, windows are seeing an updated feel with larger panes and wider views from the inside to the great outdoors. Black is also better for the sun as it absorbs the light more easily, and wears longer.
Your home is your space. And it can truly reflect you inside and on the outside. Ongoing exterior maintenance is a valuable investment in home, and updating its appearance will also add to its long-term value and potentially save you money in the long run. J L Roofing & Siding has experienced professionals who want to help you keep your home exceptional for many years to come. Let’s get together and talk about refreshing that look as well as keeping it tip top for today and many tomorrows to come.
