Don't Discount Your House's Exterior Statement...
Material often defines the architecture not just of bridges and skyscrapers but even of the most common American houses. Federal homes are brick in the South, wood- frame and clapboard in the North. International Style is concrete, and Shingle Style speaks for itself. But what of Arts & Crafts buildings?
Roofing for Style
Nothing caps a Storybook, Rustic, Mission or bungalow house like a complementary roof. Period roofing materials and techniques are back.
The Siding Decision
Shingles that install quickly in rows? Stone veneer that’s a fraction of the weight of traditional materials? Historically correct siding has never been so high-tech or so user-friendly.
Roofing and Siding Ideas
The traditional materials are once again widely available today, as are tradespeople who work with them. Wood shingles, clay tile, slate, metal, quarter-sawn clapboards, cement stucco: these materials telegraph the style, character, and quality of the house.
The Nostalgic Roof
Even if you live in a house from the bungalow era, chances are your roof is covered in asphalt. Nothing wrong with that: at $1 to $3 per square foot, the ubiquitous asphalt shingle is by far the most affordable roof you can buy.
