Exterior House Painting Project in Mount Airy, Philadelphia
Bringing New Life to a Mount Airy Home
We recently completed a beautiful exterior house painting project in the historic Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. This project included detailed exterior preparation, carpentry repairs, and a thoughtful color transformation that helped bring new life to the home while still complementing the character of the neighborhood.
Color Transformation
One of the most exciting parts of this project was the color selection process. The homeowner worked with Shannon, our color consultant to narrow down the perfect palette for their home. Collaborating with a professional color consultant can help homeowners feel more confident in their decisions.
For this project, the homeowner selected:
Trim Details & Railings: Secret Garden SW 6181 in a semi-gloss finish
Base Color: White Dove BM OC-17 in a flat finish
This color combinations created a timeless, elegant contrast that felt fresh while still fitting naturally within the character of the Mount Airy neighborhood.
Exterior Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of any long-lasting exterior painting project. Before painting began, our team completed our standard exterior prep process to create a clean surface for the new paint.
Our prep work includes:
- Low-pressure washing to remove dirt and debris
- Scraping loose and peeling paint
- Sanding rough edges and surfaces
- Caulking gaps
Painting the Porch, Railings, and Front Exterior
Once the preparation was complete, our team painted the front exterior of the home. The deep green trim details paired beautifully with the crisp white body color, adding personality to the home’s exterior.
Because of the intricate trim work and detailed features, our expert painters used specialized brushes, including 1-inch brushes and artisan detail brushes to carefully paint the sharp curves, edges, and finer details throughout the green trim work. This level of precision helped create the clean, crisp lines the homeowners were looking for.
Exterior Carpentry Repairs
In addition to the painting, our carpentry team replaced a damaged fascia board. Addressing wood repairs before painting is an important step in protecting the home and ensuring the finished project looks polished
Having both painting and carpentry services under one roof allows our team to handle exterior improvement projects more efficiently and thoroughly.
