Deciding on exterior paint colors can be terrifying — it’s a big purchase, with both paint and labor being expensive — so mistakes can be costly. Frozen with fear, many homeowners decide not to decide at all.
To help with the decision process, many paint brands have an option on their sites to see their colors on an example home — and in some cases, on several styles of homes — but not many have the capability to show YOUR home in their colors. The ones that do haven’t refined the technology enough to accurately reflect colors and placement.
I began offering exterior consultations to bridge this gap and go beyond to show additional exterior upgrades, such as door styles, lighting, columns, windows, wood tones, siding types, etc.
The process is simple — homeowners fill out a quick questionnaire where they can upload pictures of their home and inspiration pictures, then I put together mockups showing requested colors, or recommended colors (or a combination of both) and any other aesthetic exterior changes they’d like to see.
This is especially helpful for homeowners who are having difficulty visualizing colors together, or visualizing their anticipated changes together (i.e. different siding, stone veneers, etc), or are wavering between a few different options.
Someone wise said, “knowledge is power” – so now, armed with visualizations (and variations on the visualizations – the service also includes a handful of revisions), homeowners have the power to make decisions and, secure in the knowledge that they are avoiding costly mistakes, head to the paint store with confidence.
