New Ideas, Old Fashion Service
As a general rule if your home has unique or vivid colours it’s best to repaint before you sell. These homeowners were advised by their realtor to do just that. To keep the continuity we painted the main bathroom and two of the bedrooms in the same off-white that was used in other areas of the house. The best choice for resale is something on the lighter side, neutral or earthy in tone so that it will appeal to the largest group of potential buyers.
The new owner of this townhouse had us do a complete repaint before moving in. The walls throughout the two storey unit were painted in a light greige colour that has a slight rosy undertone. The trim work and doors were done in Benjamin Moore Simply White. It looks very warm and inviting and is ready for the owner to move in their furnishings and decorate.
A few years ago we painted the two bedrooms for the little girls of this household. At the time they wanted fun, vibrant purple and turquoise colours. Now they were ready for something a little more grown up. They decided to go with all white. We also painted the media room and its pine slat ceiling in white. Their bathroom was already white, but was refreshed with a coat of paint.
We enjoy taking on a major makeover project. The before and after of this one is quite remarkable. After years of being a rental property the trim work, doors and walls were not in good shape. A new owner purchased the house and hired us to transform it before they moved in. Several days were dedicated to repairing and prepping the surfaces to get them ready for painting.
Previously the walls had been painted in deep yellows, ochre, and brown hues. The new owner opted for a much more tranquil color palette. A light beige was used for the main living areas and a sage green for the primary bedroom and den. We painted all of the trim work and doors with with Benjamin Moore Simply White. The ceilings were untouched since the house was built 30 years ago. Repainting them with a fresh, crisp white brightened and refreshed the entire home.
There had been a stick on led light strip applied around the perimeter of the ceilings on two of the bedrooms. It’s never a good idea to stick anything to the walls surfaces. As carefully as possible it was removed, but inevitable the drywall was damaged. Patching had to be done everywhere that the strip was placed.
Painting this stylish kitchen all in white made the most sense. It lets the green backsplash be the feature of the space. We think it looks awesome and most importantly the homeowners love it!
We were hired to do the first repaint of this Hardie Board house since it was built. The owners wanted a fresh colour scheme with more impact. They choose a deep blue for the siding and a soft, warm yellow for the accent in the gables. The trim work was repainted in the same bright white.
We did a complete repaint of this house exterior which included the Hardie Board siding, trim work and doors. The owners liked the earthy tones that the house was originally painted with so they had us repaint with similar colours. The brown shades work well with the brick on the front of the house.
The only change we made was bumping up the trim work and door colour to a slightly darker brown so that it gave it more contrast with the body of the house.
Take a look at this exterior transformation! An extensive amount of scraping, sanding and priming was required to get the cedar siding looking good again. Unfortunately it was left far too long in between paint jobs. The new dark green colour looks fantastic, it’s completely changed the look of the house.
A small change made a big impact to exterior of this cape cod style house. It lacked a sense of cohesiveness. The fascia boards were brown and the front door, window boxes and shutters were blue. We needed to find a way to bring this attractive house up to its full potential. When we looked at the house from a distance it was clear that the roof was the dominant colour that couldn’t be ignored. We picked a dark charcoal paint colour called Iron Ore to use on the fascia boards, the front door, window boxes and the overhead garage doors. It was the perfect compliment to roof shingles and worked well with the brick work next to the front door. The house went from being a wallflower on the street to a classy, eye catching property.
We love the stylish blue-gray colour of this house. It’s one of Benjamin Moore’s historic colours called Templeton Gray. The owner contemplated a change, but opted to have us repaint it in the same colour. Why change what looks great! It had been years since the faded siding looked like the colour it was supposed to be. So the owner still felt like they got a new colour regardless. The trim may be coming across as white in the photos, but it’s actually a light gray that works as a nice compliment to the body colour.
