Interior Painting Company, Wilmington NC

rachel — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:41:20 +0000

The winter months are a great time to get that interior painting project done that you’ve been putting off because of a busy summer, crazy school schedule in the fall, and holiday shopping and entertaining that all allow you to procrastinate anything that seems optional at the time.

After the holidays are over (and we’ve organized all our new stuff!) we’re ready to settle back into a routine and get into the swing of things. I often find that by February, I’m energized and ready to get the house back under control after a few months (dare I say a year…) of letting things pile up, letting closets become disastrous, and allowing every flat surface and corner of the house accumulate mountains of stuff. We usually do a pretty good household purge at that point and then become inspired to shake things up, move things around, and get things cleaned up.

With a clean and organized house comes inspiration. And almost every year, we get inspired to complete an interior painting job that we’ve been meaning to do for a while. Our house has a number of windows, tall ceilings, and crown molding trim. That means many weekends of painting work for my husband and I in between the kids’ basketball and soccer games, playdates, etc.

Or, it could be done in a day or so by the interior painting pros at Colour Solutions.

Colour Solutions works efficiently and professionally for interior and exterior painting projects, both residential and commercial. They’ll get the job done quickly and make it look amazing – pus they’ll clean up so well you won’t even remember they were there (except for the beautiful paint job!).

Fall Cleanup Time in Southeastern NC

rachel — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:00:42 +0000

The tourists are leaving, the beaches are quiet and the oppressive Wilmington humidity has given way to mild days and cool nights. Yes, fall is here. And what better time of year to get a start on those house projects you’ve been thinking about?

Fall is a great time of year for Southeastern North Carolina and is used by many residents to get started on their home project to-do lists. It is also a wonderful time to take stock of the state your home is in, determine what maintenance is needed and allow it to look its best.

At Colour Solutions, we offer more than just interior painting services. We love working in the fall, as it provides several opportunities to help homeowners improve the look and value of their home. Some popular fall projects include pressure washing home exteriors, doing some preventive maintenance with light home repairs, or even impressing holiday visitors with a special faux finish paint. Contact us today to learn more about fall projects for your home.

More Tips on Keeping Your Home Fall Fresh:

* Make sure your lawn and garden are looking their best, so that it can complement your beautiful home. Keep lawn trimmed and control weeds.
* As summer fades, leaves and branches fall and flowers can die off. Pick up any yard debris quickly and plant some fall-friendly flowers like chrysanthemums and maybe even add some fresh mulch to landscaped areas.
* Keep your home’s exterior clean and mildew-free.(See more information on our pressure washing services.)

For more information on fall services from Colour Solutions and to receive a free estimate, call 910-686-3067. We can help you beautify your home for fall and prepare it for winter, all while providing excellent customer service and high-quality work.

Preparing Your Home for the Winter in Wilmington NC

rachel — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:00:17 +0000

Fall is officially here – which means winter is not far behind! Let Color Solutions help you with those winter projects that you’ve been thinking about all summer long.

Fall is a great time to inspect and repair doors, windows and shutters as well as take on outdoor projects like sealing or refinishing decks. Additionally, winter can mean severe environmental changes, especially in Southeastern NC, where temperatures often fluctuate. This causes regular expansion and contraction of a home’s exterior – something that could lead to moisture getting into the tiniest cracks, causing expensive water damage. A good winter maintenance plan for your home will not only prevent costly damage, it will give you peace of mind during mother nature’s many changes.

Colour Solutions is more than just a painting company. We are a team of experienced, friendly home-improvement experts who are ready to make your home winter-ready. Whether you need to spruce up your gutters, repair drywall or are looking to refinish your weather-worn backyard deck, Colour Solutions can help.

With a proven track record of customer satisfaction and years of experience, Colour Solutions has become the trusted name in Wilmington NC painters and contractors. Call today to schedule your free estimate: 910-686-3067

In addition to our residential services, we are also pleased to offer commercial painting.

That’s where Colour Solutions comes in.

Choosing A Finish For Your Wilmington NC Deck

rachel — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:00:31 +0000

Here in coastal North Carolina we are lucky to be able to enjoy our decks, balconies, patios, and other outdoor living areas just about year round. They can be among the most used and most loved parts of the home! Give your deck the care it deserves with proper maintenance so that it will last for years to come.

There are many options to choose from when it comes to deck finishes. Unlike some parts of the country that have a characteristic style, there are many looks that are right at home in the Wilmington, NC area. Though you might make one choice for a historic Victorian downtown and another for a beach house along the Waterway, here are a few possibilities to consider:

Deck Staining – Choose from a wide variety of colors from deep chestnut and walnut to lighter oak and pine.
Keep It Natural – Letting the wood weather to a classic gray is a popular choice, but be sure to protect it with a water repellent finish. This will greatly extend the life of your deck.
Bright White – Make your deck pop against the color of your home with a bright white exterior paint.
Trim Color – Match the color of your home’s trim whether it is a classic off white or a bold and attention grabbing color.
Accent Color – Give your deck its own personality with a hue that accents the other color choices on your home’s exterior.

rachel — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:18:13 +0000

Deck Staining, Painting, and Refinishing in Wilmington NC

rachel — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:30:17 +0000

In addition to expert painting and pressure washing services, Colour Soutions is also an ideal source for deck staining, painting, and refinishing.

Many of us live, work, and retire in the beautiful Wilmington, NC area because of the warmer climate here on the southeastern North Carolina coast. The warmer temps and sunny days allow us to spend more time outdoors and for that reason, most homes are built with back decks or front porches to help us enjoy the outdoors from the comfort and convenience of our own homes.

Wood decks need quality care to help them last in our humid environment. Regular deck refinishing and staining or painting is imperative to having a deck that survives over 10 years or so with minimal cracking or splintering. Deck work also helps keep your home’s exterior looking sharp and attractive which can do wonders for your peace of mind, not to mention the potential resale value of the home.

Colour Solutions has extensive experience with deck refinishing, staining, and painting – including work on the deck boards, steps, railings, and built in bench seating. Trust us to help maintain your deck and keep your yard and home’s exterior looking its best! Take a look at our gallery of exteriors to get an idea of the work we can accomplish.
