Notice the color placement in the before image. The homeowner tried to get fancy by painting the trim a dark blue accent color under the eaves and over the windows. Doing that ruined the entire look of the house making the eaves and windows appear thinner and weaker. It looks like the gutter is supporting the roof. The next image is a similar color with correct placement and shutters added. Just a little bad creativity can really ruin a house.
Scope of work:
- Correct color placement
- New paint colors.
- New real shutters.
- Basic landscaping.

Close up.
This spectacular home is located in an area where many tourists visit and take photos. While the house looks wonderful, the current colors do nothing for the house. The current color scheme is composed of 9 colors. While 9 colors sound impressive it looks like there are only 3. The placement is awful with the blue and gray flip flopping randomly on the trim. The new color scheme has three colors and that is all that is needed when correctly placed to allow the architecture to do what it is supposed to do and also show off the details.
Scope of Work:
- Correct color placement.
- Historic paint colors.
