Classic Exterior Options for Traditional Style Homes

5/8/2024

 
Picture
Indiana and Michigan are full of varying architecture, including homes that are traditional in style. A traditional style home boasts architectural charm and becomes in a variety of styles, including ranch, cape cod, colonial, or farmhouse. It’s essentially a timeless, symmetrical home design that continuously looks beautiful as decades pass by.

If you’re looking for classic exterior options to complement your traditional home, these are a few of the key upgrades to take into consideration:

Install Double Hung Windows Double hung windows are one of the most classic exterior products in America. They complement a wide range of architectures and add a classic touch to any exterior.

These windows are also the perfect choice to create a symmetrical appearance in the home. Colonial homes are a perfect example, which showcases rows of 4 or 5 double hung windows on the top story with 2 or 4 double hung windows on the lower story.
Choose a Door that Looks Like WoodWood entry doors undoubtedly provide a stately and traditional appearance. However, the problem with installing a real wood door is that it requires a lot of maintenance to keep it looking beautiful. Homeowners can expect to sand, paint, and stain real wood doors regularly throughout their lifetime.

The good news is that there is a workaround with wood doors. Instead of opting for wood, choose fiberglass instead. Fiberglass is easily stained in your favorite wood color, ranging from oak to cherry. It offers the real look of wood without the hassle—and not to mention, it’s more cost effective than upgrading with a real wood entry door.

Consider the Craftsmanship of New Siding
Before factories, siding was hand-carved with every panel. This resulted in exceptional detail of the home with beauty that lasts for hundreds of years.

Vinyl siding is a good replacement for wood exterior, but some homeowners worry about losing the character of real wood siding. Traditional style homes such as farmhouses or cape cods can opt for vinyl siding with real wood grain patterns. Just like choosing a fiberglass door, this option allows homeowners to have the look of real wood siding without maintenance.
Classic Landscaping IdeasOnce you upgrade the exterior with new windows, doors, or siding, don’t forget about landscaping. Formal gardens complement many traditional home styles and include:

  • Low boxwood hedge lines
  • Hosta and hydrangeas
  • Straight walkways or slightly curved paths
  • Decorate with containers
  • Keep the landscaping easy to maintain. Simplicity is key with traditional landscaping.

Energy Efficient Replacements make it easy to complement your traditional exterior with our quality replacement products. Consider installing classic style windows, doors, and siding on your Michigan or Indiana home for unforgettable curb appeal!
