If you’re planning on doing some home repair, remodel, or new construction, now’s the time to get it scheduled. Spring and summer brings opportunity to complete all the updates you’ve been dreaming about during the winter.  So what’s on your to-do list?

Common Fair-Weather Construction Projects

• Siding
• Painting
• Cement Work
• Fencing
• Roofing
• Window Replacement
• Decks and Patios
• Room Additions

O.K. ...now the fun begins. How in the world do color trends enhance your fair-weather construction projects? Let’s take a look at some popular color trends.

Shown here are:
Pantone Ultra Violet
Fashion & Color Forecast 2018
Sherwin Williams Oceanside
Benjamin Moore Caliente
Behr In the Moment

If you’re painting your house this summer, consider using Ultra Violet as a pop of color on our front door. Bring the hues of purple to your landscaping with annual flowers. You’ll brighten up your neighborhood!

Concrete isn't just for driveways anymore! There are great new options with concrete that are being used in home décor. Concrete staining and stamping can provide a multitude of options. Using pavers in various color tones is a great way to be creative with the fashion forecast colors!

Roof color is grey, right? Of course not! When choosing materials for roof replacement, color should be part of the selection process. You could incorporate the paint color Oceanside in window shutters, trims or flower boxes if those color hues are appealing. 

Vibrant reds like Caliente make your outdoor seating say "welcome to my home!" It's a great accent color to finish off a new deck, patio, or outdoor kitchen. An updated front porch will look refreshed with a red rocker. If you feel bold, use it on a fence or garden shed!

There are times when damage has made siding replacement necessary. New siding is like giving your home a new jacket. Ask your contractor about siding options for your home, then choose a color like In the Moment to top it off. White trim, rock work or natural wood tones look snappy with this color as a backdrop.

No matter what your fair-weather projects are for 2018, don't put off getting a reliable home contractor on the calendar. During the summer, demand for skilled construction professionals increases and their scheules fill up fast. Before you know it, you'll be back in winter dreaming about the next year's to-do list.
