Selecting
an
Exterior
Paint
As we’ve discussed in previous blogs; painting your house is not only an essential project to maintain its visual appeal, but to maintain its value, and if you do it right…add value! Here are some tips when it comes to choosing an exterior paint for the outside of your home:
- Look for interesting architectural details, or add some, that can sparkle with a contrasting or accent color
- Be observant — drive through various neighborhoods, established and new, to see color in action. Make note of appealing exterior paint color schemes and adaptability to your own home
- Define the entry. Use exterior paint color as a “Welcome” sign to your home
- Windows are the eyes of a home — they can add or even define the character of a home. Decorating them lends crispness to the color scheme
- Consider the exterior paint colors that cannot change like roofing shingles, brick, slate or stone. Be especially aware of highly visible steep roofs. A charcoal gray shingle may have flecks of gray-green or gray-blue that can be found on a paint color strip and incorporated into the color scheme
- Balance is important between light and deep colors, as well as warm and cool colors; consider not just the exterior paint color scheme, but all the elements that make up the surroundings
Homeownership is an
excellent achievement, and with that achievement comes a responsibility to take
care of your home. Exterior Paint makes a first impression, an individual
statement and can enhance curb appeal and even the resale value of your home. A
creative color scheme can add enjoyment and value to your property. Contact us, CertaPro Painters
