Changing wall surfaces is a bigger project, but the impact can also be big. Nearly 3 in 5 renovating homeowners (58%) upgrade their home’s exterior walls as part of their exterior projects. Natural wood is the leading wall surface material, chosen by 23% of those with an exterior wall surface project, but fiber cement (22%) and stucco (19%) are close behind. Among homeowners choosing natural wood, the format breakdown is: lap siding (53%), vertical siding (49%) and shakes or shingles (24%).
Among homeowners changing their exterior wall colors, neutrals are the top choice, specifically white (23%), gray (19%), beige (10%) and black (8%). But green is right up there with black, at 8%, and some bolder colors make an appearance too, such as blue (4%), red (3%), yellow (3%) and orange (1%).
The majority of renovating homeowners (71%) choose a wall color that contrasts with the trim color, as exemplified by this Kirkland, Washington, home by Merit Homes.
