Take this quiz to find the siding styles and colors that match your home.
Choosing siding means deciding two things at once: the profile that suits your home’s architecture, and the color that works with your roof, trim and surroundings. Lap, board and batten, panel, shake and nickel gap each sit differently on a house, and the same color reads warmer or cooler depending on the texture underneath it.
This quiz asks about your home and what drew you to new siding, then shows you Diamond Kote colors and profiles that fit.
How it works
You tell us what prompted the project, whether that’s storm damage, a new build or wanting a different look. Then you choose between exterior styles, and pick the colors and textures you’re drawn to.
Your results include Diamond Kote products and color palettes. You can retake the quiz as often as you like.
Or skip the quiz. Browse all siding colors, see siding styles by profile, or open the home visualizer to see products on a photo of your own house.
