Combining siding with brick or stone can give your home a standout look — but only if the materials work well together. Achieving that balance requires careful planning, thoughtful design, and the right combination of textures and colors.
At Craftsman’s Choice, we help Minnesota homeowners create cohesive exteriors by blending siding with existing or new masonry. Whether you’re updating what you have or starting fresh, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
When Removing Brick or Stone Isn’t an Option
We often meet homeowners who already have brick or stone on their home and want a fresh look. But removing all of that existing masonry? That can be very expensive and often unnecessary. Instead of tearing it out, we help you work with what you have.
That means finding a siding color, material, and style that complements your existing brick or stone — so everything feels cohesive and elevated without blowing the budget.
Matching Siding with Brick or Stone Using Our 3D Design Tools
We know it’s hard to commit to new siding without knowing what it’ll actually look like on your house. That’s why we offer a design feature that removes the guesswork.
Here’s what we do:
- Create a 3D model of your home: We build a digital model of your actual house, using your existing features — including your current brick or stone. This way, you can see exactly how new siding colors and styles will look next to those existing accents.
- Test multiple styles and colors: Want to see what a darker shade of board-and-batten siding looks like against your warm-toned brick? Or compare a classic lap siding to something more modern? You can do all that before the siding even gets ordered.
- Make confident design decisions: By previewing the look on your real home, you’ll know exactly what to expect before anything is installed.
Starting from Scratch? We Help Match New Materials Too
If you’re choosing all new materials — maybe a full exterior remodel — we use the same design tools to help you pair new siding with new brick, stone, or even stucco.
Our approach includes:
- Showing combinations of materials, colors, and textures in a realistic 3D setting
- Helping you weigh different options to find what suits your home’s style
- Providing physical samples of all selected materials — not just one, but both siding and masonry — so you can view them in natural lighting at your home
That way, even if you’re starting with a blank slate, you’ll be confident in your design before anything gets torn off or replaced.
Matching Siding with Existing Brick or Stone Accents
If you already have stone or brick features and want to add or replace siding, here’s how we approach the project:
1. We evaluate your existing material
We look at the tone, pattern, and texture of your brick or stone to guide what siding will enhance rather than compete with it.
2. We explore siding styles that balance your home’s look
For example, smooth lap siding might tone down the ruggedness of natural stone, while vertical board-and-batten adds contrast to flat brickwork.
3. We test designs using your real home
Using our modeling tools, we preview several combinations so you can choose the look you love — before we ever begin the install.
4. We bring physical samples to your door
Once we land on a few options, we bring siding and masonry samples to your home. That way, you can see how the textures and tones play together in natural daylight.
