Red paint colors can create an abiding warmth in an interior room or impart bold life to an exterior surface. Give your space an inviting glow with a warm neutral red like Glamour or Pinky Beige. Make a statement with the sustaining energy of a deep red like Red Barn. Explore even more vibrant possibilities among our expert picks and popular reds.
Warm, energetic and high impact, the color red is a fantastic choice for spaces where you want to entertain and promote interaction. For a less dynamic red, choose a hue with rust or brown tones.
One of the coolest things about paint colors is the range of colors possible with the right mix. Roycroft Bronze Green by Sherwin-Williams is green but it’s probably not the first green that comes to mind when someone says green, it’s richer than green, it’s beyond green.

Sherwin- Williams HGTV Home can be a great resource for color ideas: “For an open, airy, and minimalistic aesthetic, it’s all about the light. Focus on blonde wood, tall windows, and pale colors like Morning Fog and Familiar Beige. Lots of sunlight makes a room feel larger and more open, connecting a space to the great outdoors. It’s perfect for anywhere you’d want to unwind, whether it’s with a cup of tea, a soft pillow, or a good book.”
Call Mike and say, “Hey, let’s get this light, bright color scheme working at my place. Right now it’s a dark cave and it’s getting me down!” 541.497.3804
Often a good place to begin with color selection is with some furniture or other décor items you already own.

Put down the brush and step away from the building. There is a lot more to painting than brushing, rolling or spraying paint. In fact, all skilled painters understand that most of the job in painting is preparation. Cleaning is essential. Paint cannot adhere when debris in the way.
Peeling paint must be removed or treated. Repair or replace loose or weather damaged siding and trim. Fill holes. Caulk joints.
Don’t overlook masking – this is a task that can make or break the quality of the paint job itself and prevent damaging other surfaces. The right masking materials (tape, paper, plastic sheeting, etc) make a big difference in the results. Clean, straight lines are not automatic. It takes lots of practice to get it right. Understanding the dynamics of the air pressures produced by pressurized paint and how to layer masking, use guards and drop cloths are all big components of a job well done.
Of course you can bring in the pros to do the job right the first time, call Mike at 541-497-3804.
