1894 Victorian in Buffalo
Before painting.
Color placement corrected.
Scope of Work:
- Exterior paint colors.
- Color placement corrected.
- Paint brick to look like brick.
Hard to understand why the colors were used in the places they were but fixing these problems really made this house look great. A natural brick color improves the appearance.
Brick Victorian with Turret
Stone over windows should not be painted.
Neutral colors tone down the brick and allow features to show off.
Scope of Work:
- Exterior paint colors.
Porch skirt is painted gray to match stone foundation since porch is tall a strong appearing base is needed. A combination of tan and gray with black window sash gives the house a sharp and authentic look. Paint colors should not compete with brick.
1911 Classical Revival House
Some strange accent colors here.
Simple and elegant.
Scope of Work:
- Exterior paint colors.
- Color placement correction.
- replace windows with pull shades.
Many would expect to see all the decorative features accented with a different color. A Classical Revival house portrays elegance. Accent colors would only cheapen the look and feel.
From Antique Shop to Law Office

After painting
Alternative color scheme.
Scope of Work:
- Exterior paint colors.
- Add pull shades.
There is some nice details that needed to be picked out in an accent color. Double arched windows are a nice feature that need to be shown off. Dark window sashes are great but it’s best to have shades or curtains in order to show them off.
1904 Brick Row House
Before
Back to basics. There should only be one trim color.
Scope of Work:
- Exterior paint colors.
Back to basics. Limestone trim is the predominant fixed element on this Chicago row house. Painting the current cream trim color to match the limestone is all this building needs.
