Your house called. It’s ready for a summer makeover!

Mitch Allen • June 9, 2026

Nothing transforms a home’s exterior more than new siding. Here’s how you can enjoy enhanced curb appeal, weather protection and low maintenance—while saving 50%.

A stack of books sits on a wooden table, next to a lit candle and a warm cup of coffee or tea.

For 2026, popular colors include the classics, such as soft beiges, taupes, mushroom and creamy whites.


If you want to boost your home’s curb appeal this summer, fresh, updated siding can make a dramatic difference. Even the most beautiful landscaping can’t fully enhance a home with worn, faded or outdated siding.


And this winter was especially harsh on Northeast Ohio homes, with damage that becomes highly noticeable after spring rains and on bright summer days. 


“New siding brings a fresh, clean, like-new look you can’t get any other way,” explains Empire Window Company owner Bill Gartner. “Not only do today’s styles and colors bring your home into the 21st century, but new siding also protects it from Northeast Ohio’s harsh winters and driving rain. It also reduces maintenance. So put down the paintbrush. Our siding never needs painting.”


Outdated siding loses its ability to protect your home from moisture and temperature changes. “This leads to a frequent need for painting, warping, buckling, cracks, holes or loose panels,” Bill says. “If you see interior peeling paint or wallpaper, that indicates moisture could be getting behind the siding and into the walls.”


Today’s high-tech siding is highly durable and features a protective UV coating that resists fading. Styles and colors are virtually limitless. “For 2026, popular siding colors include timeless options like soft beiges, warm taupes, mushroom and creamy whites,” Bill says. “Moody, dark colors—charcoal, navy, and matte black—are also popular and create dramatic, upscale curb appeal.”

Bill adds that nature-inspired hues—such as sage, olive, and clay—blend beautifully with natural landscaping.


Choosing a local company is also important. “Installing siding is an art,” Bill says. “Getting it done correctly for our harsh weather is key to long-term beauty and protection. Our professional craftsmen—and our 67 years of experience—mean we know what we’re doing.”


Bill’s crews can install siding any time of year. Of course summer typically has perfect conditions of being warmer and dryer and inclement weather doesn’t delay installation.


For a cleaner, fresher look, pair your new siding with new gutters. There’s no reason not to. Right now, Empire is offering 50% off siding, plus free gutters when you purchase whole-house siding.
