Think Outside the Box When Upgrading your Home’s Exterior

Looking to update your home’s exterior but concerned about budget constraints? BP Canada recommends taking a step-by-step approach by dividing the project into manageable annual phases.
Step 1: The Roof
The roof represents nearly one third of a home’s exterior and is a long-term investment, making it essential to choose shingles that offer both lasting protection and aesthetic appeal. Multi-toned from Signature shingles collection are an excellent choice, as they enhance visual depth while allowing flexibility when coordinating future exterior elements such as siding, doors, and trim.

Step 2: Siding
Upgrading a home’s siding is a proven way to refresh its appearance and increase property value. Unlike paint, siding is designed to last for decades, so selecting the right colour is key. Replacing siding offers a strong return on investment, while also providing enhanced protection, improved energy efficiency, and low maintenance. BP Canada recommends Kaycan siding, which pairs exceptionally well with all BP Canada shingle styles.

Step 3: Doors and Windows
Refreshing the front and garage doors, especially if they show signs of wear, instantly elevates curb appeal and allows for the addition of accent colours. To complete the renovation, replacing windows further enhances aesthetics, boosts energy efficiency, and increases property value.
To simplify planning, BP Canada offers a colour combination catalogue developed by its Chroma Colour Lab, showcasing coordinated exterior solutions over time.
