Custom Home Design - Exterior Finishing
Your resource for understanding the different stages of the custom home building process and finding a screened, local custom home builder.
Now that the rough-ins stage is completed, it is important to have a beautiful appearance on the outside of your
custom home. Finding exterior finishing that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is the key to custom
home design. Do you need
siding,
and if so, what type? Ask yourself what kind of trim you want. How will it fair
in the climate of the custom home?
Some of your siding choices are aluminum, brick, hardee plank, stucco, vinyl siding, and wood lap siding. Certain
types of siding do better in different climates than others, and are more energy efficient for insulation or cooling
your custom home. Please consult your custom home building professional, or the
ImproveNet Product & Design Center
for more ideas. The more home building material ideas you bring to your home building professional, the better your
custom home building process will go.
Think of everything that is around your house when looking at exterior finishing. Exterior work also includes
outbuildings, garage doors and driveways. Decide whether you want to have a gravel, paved or bricked-in driveway.

new custom home. The
