A New Exterior Color for Your Batesville Home

Choosing a Color Scheme That Works

A good scheme usually has three parts: a body color, a trim color and an accent for the door or shutters. A few practical tips:

• Start with what you can't change: roof color, brick and stone
• Test large samples on more than one wall and look at them morning and evening
• Colors look lighter outside than on a chip, so go a shade deeper than you think
• Very dark colors absorb more heat and can show fading sooner on sunny walls

Going from dark to light, or the reverse, often takes an extra coat, which we'll account for in the estimate.

Trim and Finishing Details

Crisp trim makes a whole paint job look sharper. We paint window and door casing, fascia, soffit, porch ceilings, columns and railings, and we can add contrast to architectural details that have been lost under one flat color. Front doors and shutters are a great place for a bolder accent in a durable, washable finish.

Painting for Batesville Businesses

We also paint storefronts, offices and small commercial buildings. Commercial exterior painting often involves masonry, metal doors and frames, and scheduling around business hours. We plan the work in sections so you can stay open.
