Which among this 2 is best exterior? Exterior design “A” is basic & free. Is it worth paying 5k extra for “B”?#
Looks like you’re getting extra space and room above head and garage in B. Go B.
Seems like you’re getting an extra room above the garage? That alone seems worth it to me
Go with B. You might also get high ceiling in the living room and foyer, which is good. Attic space above garage too.
5K over 30 years is too little for me to even calculate - it makes the house looks so much better and the extra space there’s no reason to not go for it
They're both ugly so I don't see why you would pay more. Frankly, A looks normal and B looks trendy. It will get dated faster. The window sizes don't really match the gables. It looks less balanced. Go with A. Ugly but plain and balanced is better than ugly and unbalanced and trendy.
Is it find the difference contest?
Only 5k difference? definitely go it, you have more space on B This difference need at least 100k in my town…
where is this op? looks nice
Personal choice. Talk to your family. If you can upgrade roofing to composite shingles and siding to aluminium, that's a worthwhile expense. Both of these last 2-5 times longer than the next best option, and cost 2-3x easily. But the peace of mind and lack of maintenance needed can be worth it.
I’m not sure that either looks better, but broadly I would say that an uplift in curb appeal is one of the best value for money things you can spend money on. Also, does this give you more attic space? Kind of looks like it might above the garage. Evaluate how it will look within the region and neighborhood. Will it make it differentiated from the neighbors? Will it make it look weird and out of place? I’d go 50/50 but probably would say to go for it, or negotiate with the builder to throw in the upgrade free.
