When you are trying to find a way to spruce up your home for the year a good coat of paint can be a perfect option. The options that you have are to make some changes to the overall look of the house or to brighten up a dingy paint job. There are many reasons to have your home painted and the exterior of the house is a good place to start. The exterior of your home can be painted and no one has to come in the house and come into contact with you and your family. You can enjoy a fresh look to your house and upgrade the value of your house. There are lots of things that you need to consider when painting your house to make it more unique. McKay’s Painting outlines what you need to know about touching up the paint around your home exterior.

Painting Main Outside Area of House

The first thing that most people want to consider is the main part of the house. The house has the main body that can be made from siding, stucco or even wood and brick. The main color of the house is the color that you will want to be happy with and accent with other colors that you choose. The color that you choose can be what you have currently or it can be a new change to freshen up the look of the house. The color also should be one that fits with the neighborhood so that you don’t have a home that stands far out from the rest of the homes.

Paint Exterior Trim of House

When you look around the house you will see that there are trim work all over the house. This might be the around the doors and the windows. The trim can be the same as the rest of the house if you have stucco. If you have stucco you might find that your house has trim that is made of wood or some vinyl look. The paint color that you choose for these areas should accent the main body of the house and can be a way to play with different colors. These can be a brighter or darker color that is a way to show your own unique style.

Painting Deck & Porch Railings

If you have a house that has rails in it you want to make sure that you choose a color that will accent the house as well. The rails are something that are usually around the porch or patio and can be used for any stairs that lead up the house. The rails can be accented by using a wood color or you can choose a paint color as well.

Paint Front Door

The other thing you can do is to have your doors painted as well. One of the best trends is that you can choose a color for your front door that is different than the rest of the house. The paint can be black, red, blue or other colors as well. Choose a color that is best for your personality.
