Inside, outside, boat, RV: we really can handle ANY space you can think of. 2 Choose from hundreds of amazing styles Select the vibes you're looking for and hit generate. 3 Refine until you LOVE it Make small changes once you like the direction. Swap the siding profile, try a different door color, change the trim, keep everything else. ## Seeing it is step one. Here's everything for step two. Every design comes with a plan to actually pull it off, whether you're doing it yourself or hiring help. ChatPlaybookTrusted ProsProductsBudgetDIY StepsPaint Colors Chat Ask anything about your project. It already knows your house. Is board and batten worth it over vinyl lap? On your gable, yes. It's about 40 percent of your facade, so the upgrade lands where people look. Keep lap on the sides and your plan drops by $2,100. Will this gray fight with my red brick? It won't. Your brick runs warm, so this gray has enough brown in it to sit beside it. The cooler grays are the ones that clash. 5.0 on the App Store ## Join thousands of people fixing their curb appeal ![Exterior visualized with Framehouse](/assets/gray-siding-shutters-DC32Y5I6.jpg) “Picking a siding color felt impossible.
