Color considerations

Painting the exterior of your house will immediately make it standout from the neighbors. If you're looking to sell your home, painting is the fastest and most popular way to raise the value of your house. One of the first steps we will undertake is assisting you in choosing an appropriate paint color. There are several considerations when choosing the appropriate colors to enhance the exterior of your house.

  • Landscape. Your environment will influence which colors you wish to paint on the exterior. If your house is in the shade, you may consider a lighter color. However, if you want to blend into the environment, you may want a different color. It's critical to think about how you want your home's exterior to complement the setting.
  • Architecture. Perhaps you have a Coastal Traditional home, or maybe a Colonial-style house (for example). They are each very different architectural styles with various peaks and accents. Color can help draw attention to specific architectural details.
  • Existing design. Your roof, driveway, gravel, landscaping, and mulch will not change colors when you paint. Consider how you want your exterior house paint colors to accent these features of your home.

The wow factor

There's nothing like a fresh coat of elegant paint to enhance your home's curb appeal. While there are various ways to improve the appearance of your house, painting it with a new color often provides the best bang for your buck.

What is your house-painting process?

We follow several steps, which are key for our house painting projects. Most importantly, we'll carefully prep your walls. A smooth wall surface makes for better paint adhesion, so our painters meticulously repair and prepare the surfaces before painting. We undertake these additional steps:  

  • Our team will wash the exterior of your house. We frequently use a pressure washer.  
  • Next, we'll scrape any loose paint off the house's exterior walls and trim. We'll place drop cloths below our work, so these paint chips don't land in the grass.
  • Sanding is necessary to smooth the exterior surfaces and create an ideal surface for the paint to adhere.
  • All remaining areas which need repair are patched before the exterior is primed.
  • Next, the surface is primed. Each prime coat is different. The paint manufacturer will indicate how many coats are required.
  • Finally we'll seal the cracks and corners so moisture will not seep through.

Finally, it's time to paint the house. We'll apply professional-grade paint in the color of your choice. Our expert painters will use the appropriate number of coats of quality paint. The duration of this step depends on the type of surface and paint, but our painters will work quickly and efficiently. And then a thorough clean-up. We make sure your house looks great again. Our house painters clean up your property after completing your paint job.
