Curb Appeal Phase I

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I hired painters to paint the exterior of my house and detached garage. I have been living with these colors since I chose them in February. I envisioned how everything would look but the end result exceeded my expectations! My house was painted with Behr Marquee paint colors Taupe Tease for the main color; Superior Blue for the trim; and Fire Cracker for the doors. I chose Behr Marquee because it's one of the best paints on the market! Behr Marguee has cutting-edge UV protection technology that delivers longer lasting color; Specialized polymers cross-link to provide a tough, non-stick surface, helping to prevent dirt adhesion; and antimicrobial - mildew resistant finish. Phase II starts on
Monday. I have hired a landscaper to create flower beds, get existing
flowers beds ready with fertilizer and so forth, and to plant burning
bushes, roses, salvia, and alyssum. I will take photos and post
everything again after the landscaper is finished.

    The exterior of my house was in bad shape before I hired painters to paint it. There was peeling paint and some areas were down to the aluminum siding, especially the side with all of the windows. Since they spray painted the Taupe Tease on, it looks like brand new siding!

    I will be replacing the storm doors with clear glass in the future. We are doing changes in phases since I just spent over $3000.00 to have the house and detached garage painted.

    I love color and I believe it's the spice of life! Too many people on my street alone have gone with the "safe" white house and either white trim or some other pastel color. I wanted to be different without looking like "OMG what did you do?"!

    It looks very nice.

    It stands out a lot more and looks a lot more distinctive.

    Thanks Architectural Novice! Yes, my house blended in too well with all of the others on my street that are just plain white. I also did not like that they painted the trim and everything a matte white! The paints on my house are all satins and this paint should last at least 10 years or more.

    Thanks lisakasp! I'm in Dayton, Ohio and the house is 1480 sq. ft. plus the detached garage. I paid between $3000.00 and $3500.00 for the painting company to power wash the house and garage and to have everything painted with Behr Marquee paint, which is almost $50.00 a gallon.
