1910 Folk Victorian in NY
Before
After
Alternative paint colors.
There is a white plastic fence in the foreground. The homeowner did not want to go through the trouble of painting the entire fence because the fence must match the trim on the house. Therefore the trim had to be kept white and only the body color and accents changed.
Scope of Work
- New paint colors.

1885 Victorian in Kansas
Before
After
Alternative paint colors.
A Victorian house looks dead without a contrasting window sash color. Notice the detailing in the gable decoration. A common mistake I see is the porch floor fascia being painted the wrong color. This is part of the trim and should be painted the trim color.
Scope of Work
- New paint colors.
1899 Queen Anne in Connecticut
Before
After
Alternative paint colors
This was a tough house to work on with all the tree branches in the way. Notice that with a dark trim there is additional accenting that can be done which would not look as good with a light trim. See in the alternative example the balusters and individual spandrels are accented in the body color.
Scope of Work
