Topping the List for 2020: The Comforts of Home

During the pandemic, many people have expanded their concept of “home” to now include the office, the family hub, the entertainment center, the classroom, and so much more. In response to COVID-19 concerns and stay-at-home guidelines, homeowners across the country are investing in home improvement projects that maximize the comfort and style of their sanctuaries.

The Time is Right For Home Improvements

Based on a nationally representative sample of over 1,000 U.S. homeowners, a recent Porch.com survey found that 2020’s sheltering-in-place recommendations had a positive effect on home improvement numbers. Over half of those surveyed (55%) said the pandemic-related shutdowns allowed them more free time to improve their homes, while 59% reported that needing to spend more time at home prompted those renovations. The top three reasons homeowners cited were:

• Having time to do the project(s) (25%)
• Adding value to their home (21%)
• Improving the comfort and coziness of their home (21%)

At Carp’s Complete Exteriors, we know you have many reasons for wanting to improve your home.

How Siding Colors Enhance the Design Features of Your Home

The use of color as a design tool is very important when it comes to curb appeal. Using siding on the exterior of a home can add color and texture, enhancing the overall appeal of a house. Your home’s siding will act as the foundation of your color scheme.

When you match a great siding color with the just-right color of trim, it elevates your home’s aesthetic from ordinary to extraordinary. With so many colors of siding and trim on the market, the possibilities are endless. You can also draw attention to focal points or design details by adding accent colors on shutters, soffits, the front door - or even with the furnishings and planters that you select.

Tips for Choosing Siding Colors for Your Home

• Use a lighter trim color to draw attention to the trim

• Use a soft contrast between body and trim colors to make your home appear larger

• Use deeper body colors for a warm, cozy feeling

• Look for colors that align with your neighborhood or environment

• Use a third color for special details that you want to highlight

• Switch up body colors in horizontal bands, not vertical stripes

CLASSIC JAMES HARDIE SIDING AND TRIM COLOR COMBINATIONS

	WHITE White is a neutral color — it’s neither warm nor cool. A white house paired with tan exterior trim, however, has an instant and cozy warmth. Any siding color gets a boost from the brightness of white trim—including white siding. White siding with white trim unifies a home’s various accents, giving even traditional and vintage homes a modern feel. Great for: All Styles of Homes
	BLUE A blue house with white trim is an American classic. Whether your blue siding is as dark as evening or light as mist, you cannot go wrong with white trim to match. Blue house siding with gray trim gives familiar home styles an updated twist. Great for: Colonials, Cape Cods
	GRAY Gray siding has grown in popularity, in part because it makes a bold visual statement. Lighten up the look with a crisp white trim. Great for: American Foursquares, Ranch Homes
	BEIGE Beige and tan are both brown tones, which are made by mixing white into brown. As a pair, tan house siding and beige exterior trim give a home an earthy vibe. On historic home styles like Craftsman or Bungalow, beige siding with beige trim has a surprisingly contemporary impact. The beige-on-beige exterior color palette softens accents so that they blend in, rather than stand out. Great for: Craftsman and Bungalows
	RED OR GREEN Using a bold, deeper color such as red siding or green siding is an excellent way to express the best features of your home. A house can sometimes appear smaller with strong contrasts in colors (using light and dark colors together), but contrast is not always a bad thing and can actually enhance design. If you like deeper colors and don’t want your house to look smaller, try a mid-tone trim color instead of white. This will make the main color look brighter. For example: A beige exterior trim color brightens and brings warmth to red siding. Great for: Modern Homes, Victorians

Your Complete Low-Maintenance Solution: Energy-Efficient James Hardie Siding from Carp’s

Spend time this summer doing the things you enjoy! Take maintaining your home’s siding off the list. Carp’s Complete Exteriors is an Elite Preferred James Hardie Siding Installer in Omaha, Nebraska. We give customers the complete, energy-efficient, low-maintenance solution you’ve been looking for!

Transform Your Home with Energy Efficient Fiber Cement Siding

Beautiful, durable James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding with industry-leading foam insulation is one of the best options for improving the energy efficiency of your home.

Energy-efficient home design has become increasingly important for lowering utility costs and increasing comfort. Carp’s experts can help you substantially reduce your home’s heating and cooling bills by installing James Hardie’s specially-formulated products with correct insulation and air sealing methods.

Before	After

Did you know? Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home, according to the Department of Energy.

Inadequate insulation and air leakage are the leading causes of energy waste in most homes. James Hardie® siding with HardieWrap® weather barrier and rigid foam insulation are more effective at reducing heat loss than traditional sheathing and insulation. The benefits include:

• Increased thermal performance
• Higher overall siding performance
• Air infiltration reduction
• Strength and durability, backed by the industry’s best warranties
• Comfort, value and peace of mind
• Significant decreases in energy costs

James Hardie Fiber Cement Offers Added Protection from the Elements

Pest Protection
Woodpeckers, termites and other pests are more than just a nuisance – they can cause serious damage to your home. If you have frequent issues with pests, you may want to consider replacing your siding with a material that offers little appeal to critters, such as James Hardie fiber cement siding.

Flame Resistance
James Hardie Siding is non-combustible and approved for fire-rated construction. Wood siding offers little to no protection during a fire, and vinyl siding will melt or burn when exposed to heat or flame. Because James Hardie products are non-combustible, many insurance companies offer a discount. We recommend sharing fiber-cement siding's fire-resistance qualities with your insurance carrier.

James Hardie Siding Stands Up to Summer Heat

RESISTS COLOR FADING
James Hardie’s factory applied, baked on finish provides up to 30% better fade resistance than competitive products. Vinyl siding color is susceptible to fading, and can be difficult to match when repairs are necessary.

WON’T WARP, BUCKLE OR CRACK
Designed for our harsh midwest climate, James Hardie siding also resists buckling, sagging, warping and cracking, compared to vinyl siding.

Replacing your siding with a more resilient material that has a durable finish, like James Hardie’s siding with ColorPlus® Technology, gives your home long-lasting beauty that outperforms all other siding products.
