A historic home nestled alongside the Kalamazoo Country Club deserves a shingle color that feels like it’s always belonged there — not an off-the-shelf tone that fights the house’s character. Our production team at Cedar Shingles Direct worked with the customer to recreate and refine the exact shingle hue from the previous siding on the home, maintaining the complementary contrast of the historic brick and the new Western Red Cedar shingle siding.
Whether a customer is looking to update a faded historic shade, coordinate their siding with stone and slate, or updating a palette while keeping a timeless feel, our team’s capabilities go beyond picking a color from a chip book: Cedar Shingles Direct can match custom colors to samples and photos, translating a specific look into shingles that blend seamlessly with an older home’s existing trim, landscaping, and neighborhood aesthetic. The natural grain and dimensionality of cedar shingles give color depth and variation that painted or synthetic sidings can’t replicate — the subtle shadows and texture make a matched color read as authentic rather than flat.
Cedar shingle siding offers an immediately classic appearance: warm, tactile, and quietly elegant. Over time cedar develops a patina that enhances rather than erases its original beauty, so a carefully matched color today will age into a cohesive, lived-in look for years to come. For homeowners wanting to preserve history without sacrificing style, Cedar Shingles Direct provides a practical, beautiful route to a custom, enduring exterior.
