Guide to Choosing Siding & Shutters That Don’t Clash By Megan Wild
It’s time to redo the exterior of your home. The place is looking a bit worn, and you’ve seen how a fresh coat of paint and updated colors can transform a structure. You’re considering going bold, maybe it’s time to shake things up. Then again, you don’t want to overstep bounds and glaringly stand out either. You begin to notice the color combinations on other houses. In fact, you’re kind of obsessed. You note a soft sage green home with butter yellow trim and realize that — while you would never have chosen those colors — you love the way they look. You pass a stately white home with long black shutters and consider how that classic combination enlarges the home’s appearance. We’ve compiled several tips to help you choose the siding and shutter color combination that’s right for you and lends the updated look you desire.
Style First, look at your home objectively and identify its architectural style. Is it a simple, boxy home with clean lines? Or perhaps ornate with lots of decorative detailing? Plain, uncluttered exteriors look best when painted with a straightforward one-two color combination. Uniformity of color matches the regularity of home construction. More elaborate house styles may call for between 4-6 different colors. Next, observe your home critically in the outside light. Does the house stand in full sun much of the day? Are there sections of perpetual shadow? How do you expect bright light or shade might alter the appearance of your color choice?
Location Do you live in a beach community? Does your home sit on rural land, or in suburbia? Certain color combinations look best depending on the geographic location of your structure. You wouldn’t paint a farmhouse teal, for example, but against the backdrop of water teal perfectly complements a marine palette. If your home is rural, take color cues from the earth. Bronze-brown, russet red and deep forest green all reflect natural surroundings, and confirm their place in it. Dark colors also tend to make a structure appear smaller. In a rural setting, this leaves more visual space for the beauty of adjacent fields and woodlands. Suburban home color combinations can go bold, but remember that community feel comes into play. You don’t want to stick out significantly from your neighbors. In fact, some homeowner associations won’t allow it. And if you are thinking about putting your home on the market, you want to stay with colors that appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers.
History Consider the history of your home. Do you know there are color charts designated explicitly for historic structures? If your house is old, honor its origin with color combinations unique to the period in which it was built. And if you reside in a historically preserved area, your home’s updates will play an essential role in enhancing the entire district.
Trial Once you’ve come up with likely color combination candidates, it’s time for a trial run, or two. After all, this is a decision you’ll be living with for a while. First, print out pictures of your house in broad daylight. Bring those images to the paint store and compare color chips directly. Seeing small-scale combinations right up against the image of your home may narrow your final contenders. Next, buy tester-size canisters and paint small areas of the house. You’ll probably be surprised to see hues change as the paint dries. You may also note significant color differential in shady spots as opposed to areas with full sun. Most homeowners choose different shades, either lighter or darker, after direct application tests. Once you’ve finally determined the siding and shutter color combination that’s right for you, you can rest assured knowing it also ties together your home’s unique style, location and history. Now, that’s a good vibe!
IS YOUR HOME PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY? If there’s anything we’ve learned over the years, it’s that Mother Nature is unpredictable and fierce, and that no one is safe from her path. Despite your best efforts to prevent it, sometimes disaster strikes. That means you should always be prepared for the unexpected. The right preparations and supplies will help you protect your family and your home. There are steps every homeowner could and should take to prepare for a natural disaster. Gold Medal Service, a New Jersey-based heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical service company advises taking the following steps to make sure your home is storm-ready: Waterproof low-lying areas. Basements are particularly susceptible to water issues such as flooding and leaks. Look into a variety of solutions, such as submersible sump pump systems, door and window sealing, waterproof sprays and interior drainage systems. If you live in an area with a propensity for flooding or rising water, have sandbags readily available in a shed or garage in case you need to build a dam around doors or windows. Install or inspect generators. While going without power may seem like an inconvenience, it’s actually a serious safety issue. For example, a HVAC system going out, or the inability to run fans in extreme heat can prove dangerous or deadly. A backup generator is a great alternative power source, however, make sure it’s professionally installed and periodically inspected. Also when running it, make sure it’s being run in a well ventilated or outdoor area to prevent carbon monoxide build-up.
Have your heating system inspected. Make sure the flues and vents throughout your heating systems are clean and clear of debris. Blocked vents can cause a dangerous carbon monoxide build-up in your home. Have a professional conduct the inspection if you’re unsure how to do so. Install and inspect alarms. Carbon monoxide and smoke alarms are a life-saving must; however, if they’re not functioning properly, it defeats the purpose. Make sure the batteries are fresh so they can run in case of a power outage, and bring in a professional inspector to ensure everything is working properly. In addition to having your home’s systems inspected and ready to go, have the following in place for you and your family: Water, flashlights, extra food and other necessities, such as medicines and eyeglasses A solar charger for your cell phone A battery-powered radio A list of your city’s emergency shelters An updated insurance policy with adequate coverage, especially flood coverage A rehearsed plan for what your family will do in the event of an emergency
BUYING A HOME? FACTOR THESE INTO YOUR INTEREST RATE CALCUL ATIONS
By Liz Dominguez The mortgage process can be complicated if you jump in without any prior knowledge on home-buying and lending. The best tool you can arm yourself with is an understanding of how your mortgage interest rate is calculated. CREDIT CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU.
Your credit score will determine how reliable you are in the lending world. The higher your score, the lower your interest rate will likely be. Check your credit on one of the three major credit reporting agency sites—TransUnion, Experian and Equifax—or your credit card company may have a free credit report service (although these aren’t as reliable). Improve your FICO score for a better chance at a lower interest rate. FACTOR IN SIZE & LOCATION
State or County: Even your place of residence can affect your rate. Local Mortgage Lenders: Shop around. Interest rates can vary from company to company even if they’re located in the same town.
Loan Size: The size of your home can also impact your interest rate. The bigger the loan, the higher your interest rate will be if you’re not putting more money down. Down Payment Size: Your mortgage interest rate may also depend on how much
you’re putting down and if your loan includes closing costs and private mortgage insurance (PMI). Putting down less than 20 percent can increase your risk factor and may require PMI, but your interest rate may be lower depending on the loan.
NOT ALL LOANS ARE CREATED EQUAL
Loan Length: Your loan terms play a bigger role in interest rate calculations than you think. Have you decided whether you want to pay off your loan in 15 or 30 years? You may pay more per month with a shorter term, but you’ll be paying less interest over the life of your loan. Shortterm loans may also have a smaller interest rate. Fixed or Adjustable: You’ll also have to consider whether a fixed, or adjustable-rate, loan is right for you. Your in-
terest rate can change over time if you choose an adjustable-rate loan. It may start off low or fixed, but can increase over time depending on market conditions. Fixed-rate loans, however, will have a higher interest rate attached to them. Loan Type: Interest rates can also vary according to your loan type. Choosing a loan can be overwhelming, but a local lender should be able to provide you with the best options. Some of the more
popular loans are conventional, FHA and VA loans. While FHA loans have less down payment restrictions and a smaller interest rate, your monthly payment can be more expensive due to the required PMI added on. VA loans can have smaller interest rates and don’t require PMI like FHA does. Conventional loans are widely accepted in the real estate industry as dependable, but your interest rate may be higher.
