Preparing Your Home for the Winter in Wilmington NC

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.

Choosing A Finish For Your Wilmington NC Deck

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.
