Exterior Painting Portfolio

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.

You can make a big impact to the look of your house by changing just the trim colour. This exterior was looking rather bland with the faded green trim. The owners had us repaint it in a deep brown colour to add more contrast with the vinyl siding. The overhead garage doors and front door were painted with a light taupe.

This Hardie board house was well overdue for its first re-paint since it was built, especially on the back where it receives intense sun exposure. In that area the wood trim work barely had any paint left on it. This leaves the wood unprotected and it has started to show signs of cracking and warping. The caulking on most of the house had deteriorated leaving areas of it susceptible to water penetration.

The new owners were not fond of the original earthy green colour scheme. They had us re-paint the siding in a vibrant blue colour. They didn’t want white trim so a light colour called natural linen was used for the trim work and the overhead garage door. The new colour scheme has refreshed the house and given it some character.

This house with Hardie board siding was ready for its first re-paint since being built. The siding had faded quite a bit on the southern facing portions of the house, much of the caulking had cracked, shrunk or deteriorated and some of the trim work was starting to become discoloured. The customer wanted the re-paint on the siding done with the same colour. It was a match to the Hardie board factory finish called Iron Gray. The trim work was originally done in a white that had a slight yellow undertone to it. It looked white overall, but once the trim was re-painted in a crisp, bright white you could see the difference.

The house is refreshed, clean and sharp looking again.

This wood sided house was overdue for a repaint. A large amount of prep work was done to remove flaking and chipping paint. The owners have lived in the house for many years and still enjoy the Cape Cod gray colour with the trim work done in a blueish gray. They had us do the re-paint in the same colours. The house is refreshed and looking good again.

This house is only five years old, but unfortunately some new construction homes only receive a quick one coat paint job. If you stand back and look at it from the street it might look okay, but upon closer inspection there are clearly areas that don’t have proper paint coverage. A new owner recently purchased this house and wanted to have it looking better.

We painted the Hardie board siding in the same golden colour. The trim work and fascia boards were originally painted with a white that had strong gray undertone. They looked quite dull. To brighten the trim up and provide more contrast with the body we used a brighter whiter colour. 

The wood trim around the hydro meters, plug-ins and cable panels were originally done in the lighter trim colour as were the thin inner corner trim pieces. There’s no reason to highlight these features of a house. To make them blend in we re-painted them in the same gold colour as the body.

The cedar porch ceilings on the front and the back of the house were originally left as raw wood. We clear coated them to enhance and bring out the beauty of the wood. The decorative wooden beam work in the front gables of the house had faded.  We freshened it up with a coat of the same colour of semi-transparent stain. The new paint has the house looking great and how it should have looked in the first place.

This is a great example of what can be accomplished with a colour change. The original white stucco wasn’t lending anything to the exterior of this home.

There are sections of the house that are two and three storeys tall, the white seemed to make it feel like it was towering over the property. By painting out the body in a warm gray colour it helps to ground the house.

The overhead garage doors are painted in the same warm gray as the stucco. The colour works perfectly with the rock work on the front of the house.

The trim work, deck band, posts and patio doors on the back of the house are painted in a colour that is close to the existing gutters and downspouts.

Now all the elements of the house look like they were meant to work together.
