We often get asked if a chosen home’s exterior colors need to match what is shown in our renderings. The answer is that exterior colors and things like siding styles (e.g. shingle vs lap) are completely customizable - what’s important is the fire-resistant performance of the cladding itself.

Here are a few color visualizations - which would you choose? Let us know what other color variations we should try!
