Exterior Painting and Curb Appeal
So, will a new coat of paint add value to your home? The answer is obvious, yes of course it does!

Catch potential buyers’ eyes with a new coat of paint. Even if you are not putting your house on the market, that curb appeal will remain for years to come.
Picking the Right Exterior Paint
Unlike interior paint, exterior hues can affect the whole street and that is a lot of pressure when picking the right colours for your house. Firstly, we recommend looking at the permanent surrounding elements which will remain unless you are doing a complete renovation. Look at the colour of your roof, driveway and paths, this will help you pick a palette that will complement what already exists.

If you get stuck you can always consult a professional painter, local painters that have worked in your area for years have experience in choosing colours based on your neighbourhood aesthetic, architectural style and the era that your home was built.
