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.
Alaska Home

Scope of Work:
- New paint colors.
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.
1900 Brick Queen Anne on Historic Register
Before
After painting.
Scope of Work:
- New historic colors and color placement corrected.
This house was getting a new roof and what the roofers did was they installed an aluminum fascia under the roof line in brown. Although this may be ignored by some, the fascia is part of the trim which means that this brown must now be on all the trim. Be aware if you have roofing done.
The brown was a good color however for the house along with the olive shingles.
1920 Foursquare in North Carolina
Before
Foursquare with new colors.
Alternative paint scheme.
Scope of Work:
- Remove those ugly shutters.
- New historic colors and color placement corrected.
Foursquare houses seldom have shutters especially bad fake shutters. Brick should be left natural but if painted it should be painted to resemble brick.
