Stucco Victorian with a Giant Garage in the Wrong Place
Before
The red roof makes this house.
Alternative color scheme.
Scope of Work:
- New paint colors.
- New roof color.
- Hide garage.
The lack of contrast made this house look all washed out. The biggest problem is the location of the garage. Never should a garage be attached to a house in such a way unless you have a Ranch house.
Worse yet the house actually sits back from the garage making the house look less important.
To correct this problem bushes are planted on each side of the house to block what is behind and direct your eyes towards the front door.
The homeowner chose a white trim to match the fence on the left side of the house. While other trim colors may look better, the homeowner did not what to paint the fence to match the trim. (the fence should match the trim)
I can’t stress enough how important a roof is to a house. The red roof makes this house and picks out the red windows and door.

1910 Florida Foursquare
Before
New contrasting colors.
Scope of Work:
- New paint colors.
Don’t be afraid of darker paint colors. The contrast between a dark body and light trim color brighten the house up. Since there aren’t any curtains on the windows a dark window sash would not be noticed as a sash color to match the trim.

So many older homes on this site. Here is something different
1889 Shingle Style in NJ
Before
New paint colors and shutters and color placement correction.
Alternative paint color scheme.
Scope of Work:
- New historic colors and color placement corrected.
- Install new operable louvered shutters.
This house was built as a Shingle Style Victorian featuring natural unpainted shingles with a narrower reveal than there is currently. Over the years the original shingles were replaced and painted resulting in what you see now.
The main problem is the placement of the trim color resulting in a un-unified look. Notice the trim on the gable and the trim around the windows are different colors.
