Rachel Delgado, a resident of Hampton, Va., has won the online public voting to receive a $2,500 cash grand prize in the DaVinci Roofscapes 2015 “Shake it Up” Exterior Color Contest.

Almost 600 votes were cast in the contest, with Delgado’s entry generating the most votes of the three finalists. In her contest entry, the Hampton area homeowner explained how she wants to break the mold of being a boring home in her neighborhood.

“I want to shake up my home by going with an urban farm/rustic chic theme,” says Delgado. “The exterior will be painted barn red with white trim and we plan to create a porch with a swing area and space for dining.”

According to Wendy Bruch, marketing manager with DaVinci Roofscapes, the sponsor of the contest, the judges saw the potential for dramatic change using color and new products on the Delgado home exterior. “As a finalist, this home was evaluated by radio show co-host Allen Lyle with Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford and national color expert Kate Smith with Sensational Color,” says Bruch. “Kate worked to create an artist’s rendering of what the Delgado home would look like transformed with colorful new products.

“She specified a new Tahoe blend polymer shake roof from DaVinci along with a Therma-Tru Classic-Craft Canvas Collection fiberglass door painted in a trendy gray tone. As a final touch she recommended the addition of a new low-maintenance balustrade system from Fypon to create the porch space the Delgados desire.”

The voting public saw the potential in adding ‘top down’ color to the Delgado home that will increase the overall curb appeal of the house and make it a stand-out in its neighborhood. For the 2015 contest, the Delgado home rose above more than 180 entries to capture the grand prize.

When notified of her winning status, Delgado was excited by the prize money that will allow her to add color and new products to the exterior of her home.

“Our first priority is to purchase the red paint color recommended as part of the artist rendering to help transform the home exterior,” says Delgado. “After that we’ll focus on the new porch and a new entry door. Finally, the wish list will be complete in a few years when we can top off our ‘new’ home with the recommended DaVinci roof.”
