Bucks County Exterior House Painting Transformation
A Bold New Look for This Bucks County Home
A well-executed exterior transformation is about more than choosing a new paint color. The right combination of surface preparation, quality exterior painting, and carpentry repairs can completely change the appearance of a home while helping protect the exterior for years to come. For this Bucks County home, our team combined detailed preparation, a fresh three-color palette, and carpentry improvements to create a dramatic before-and-after transformation.
A Fresh Color Palette for a Classic Exterior
The homeowners chose a sophisticated combination of neutral, blue-green, and warm accent tones to give the home a fresh and updated appearance.
The exterior color palette included:
- Main Color: Benjamin Moore Sail Cloth (OC-142)
- Trim Color: Benjamin Moore Aegean Teal (2136-40)
- Accent Color: Sherwin-Williams Rosedust (SW 0025)
Sail Cloth provides a soft, warm foundation for the exterior, while Aegean Teal adds contrast and definition to the trim. Rosedust brings a subtle warmth to the architectural accents, creating a balanced and distinctive look.
Detailed Preparation Before Painting
A beautiful exterior paint job starts long before the first coat of paint is applied. Before introducing the new color palette, our painting team carefully power washed, power sanded, hand sanded, and scraped the existing surfaces. This preparation helps remove loose and deteriorated material and creates a properly prepared surface for the new finish.
Taking the time to properly prepare an exterior is an important part of achieving a clean, durable, professional-looking result. Rather than simply covering the existing surface with new paint, our team addresses the condition of the substrate first.
More Than an Exterior Paint Job
This project also included carpentry work to address areas of the home that needed more than a fresh coat of paint. Our carpentry team replaced cedar shakes and installed new porch boards, helping restore and improve the home’s exterior while the painting work transformed its appearance. Combining painting and carpentry allows our team to address both the appearance and condition of the exterior as part of one comprehensive project.
The Finished Exterior Transformation
When working on a 100+ year old home, the prep and maintenance is especially important. The finished result is a completely refreshed exterior with a color palette that highlights the home’s historical architectural details. From the extensive surface preparation to the cedar shake replacement, porch board installation, and final paint colors, every part of the project contributed to the transformation and preservation of this beautiful home. This project is a great example of what can be accomplished when professional exterior painting, detailed preparation, and skilled carpentry come together.
