The Curb Appeal of Fresh Paint

First impressions matter—especially when it comes to your home’s curb appeal. Whether you’re looking to increase property value, attract potential buyers, or simply take pride in your residence, a fresh exterior paint job can completely transform the way your home is perceived.

The Power of a Fresh Coat

Over time, exposure to the elements can make exterior paint fade, crack, or peel. A new paint job instantly revitalizes your home, giving it a clean, polished look that makes it stand out in the neighborhood.

Benefits of a Well-Painted Exterior:

  • Boosts Property Value – Homes with updated exteriors tend to sell faster and at higher prices.
  • Enhances Visual Appeal – A fresh color scheme can modernize your home and complement its architecture.
  • Protects Against the Elements – High-quality paint acts as a barrier against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors that can cause damage.

Choosing the Right Color

Selecting the perfect exterior color is key to maximizing curb appeal. Neutral tones like greys, beiges, and whites provide timeless elegance, while deeper hues like navy or forest green add sophistication. Want a pop of personality? A bold front door can make a memorable statement.

A Small Investment with Big Results

Refreshing your home’s exterior paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to enhance curb appeal. It’s a project that makes an immediate impact while protecting your home for years to come.

If your home’s exterior is looking tired, a fresh coat of paint could be the perfect solution. Ready to transform your curb appeal?

Sheen

You’ve finally narrowed down your paint colors, and now you must make another decision – it’s time to choose a sheen.


A non-reflective sheen that helps hide surface imperfections, making walls appear smooth. Visually this finish smooths walls that are dented or rough. However, it can be harder to clean. Best for:

Adult bedrooms
Formal Living Rooms
Ceilings
Uneven or textured walls
This flat finish is great for hiding surface imperfections, while its angular shine helps make walls smooth and washable. Use this sheen for:

Living rooms
Dining rooms
Exterior siding
With a slight shine, Satin and Eg-Shel finishes offer a richer look. Washability makes these sheens ideal for high-traffic areas most likely to attract nicks and scuff marks such as:

Hallways
Woodwork
Children’s bedrooms
Family rooms
Exterior surfaces
This moderately reflective, durable finish is perfect for areas that get cleaned frequently, such as:

Kitchens
Bathrooms
Utility area
Closet doors
Trim
Gloss sheens have higher light-reflective characteristics. This shiny, durable finish works great for any element of a room you would like to highlight such as:
Wood trim
Cabinets
Doors
Furniture
