Selling Your Home? It May be Time to Paint

January 9, 2014 By

Painting Before Selling Your HomeAnyone considering putting a home on the market may scoff at the idea of investing in a new paint job. After all, won’t the new owners choose their own colors and shouldn’t they be able to see beyond those dingy walls and chipped trim? While these points may be valid, investing in fresh paint, both inside and out, can be much more beneficial than you may think. Designers and home improvement professionals have agreed for some time, that dollar for dollar, painting nets the most bang for the buck! Furthermore, putting your home’s best foot forward by making needed repairs, updates, and applying new paint, will very likely increase its value and allow for a higher asking price.

Improving your home with paint can be as involved as completely painting your home’s exterior, redoing every room with the latest trendy colors or just touching up the trim. If it has been a while since you chose new paint, the experts at Colour Solutions will be happy show you the latest products and colors and steer you in the right direction. They have experience with creating neutral palettes that will compliment the setting and appeal to a broad base of potential homebuyers.

In addition to painting, the Colour Solutions team can also help you get your home “move-in” ready. Here are just a few examples of some of the other home improvement services we offer:

  • Concrete Cleaning – Makes driveways, walkways and patios look new.
  • Drywall repair – Fix those problems before painting!
  • Wallpaper removal – This can be tricky and leave an uneven surface, which is why we’ll be glad to tackle this type of job.
  • Gutter cleaning – Unclogged gutters show that a house has been well maintained.
  • Pressure Washing – Nothing beats it for prepping a home’s exterior prior to painting.
  • Stripping and refinishing doors, floors & other surfaces – The Colour Solutions crew can freshen up tired woodwork.

Pressure Washing and Low Pressure Washing in Wilmington

January 2, 2014 By

Pressure Washing & Low Pressure WashingAs we celebrate the beginning of a new year, many of us reflect on ways we can improve ourselves and our surroundings. If sprucing up your home or commercial property is one of your resolutions for 2014, a thorough pressure washing is an excellent way to get started!

Pressure washing can achieve amazing results and make a home or office really sparkle. In addition to removing dirt, grime and mildew, a pressurized wash is a must for those considering an exterior paint job. In fact, the process can kill two birds with one stone by completely prepping the exterior and lifting off loose or chipped paint, as well as dirt. Practically any surface can benefit from a professional pressure washing.

The team from Colour Solutions has experience pressure washing everything from brick to vinyl, concrete to wood, and even stucco. Did you know that using pressurized washing equipment makes quick work of cleaning gutters and outdoor furniture? Of course, we have also incredible results with decks, pool surrounds, porches, and even driveways! (we even do fences)

We are also able to do low pressure washing, which is ideal for many commercial settings. Surfaces such as vinyl and aluminum, respond very well to a lower pressure wash down.

In southeastern North Carolina, we are fortunate to have mild winters and early springs. March and April are truly just around the corner, which is why it’s never too early to plan ahead. To learn more about pressure washing, make an appointment for a free estimate, or discover our full line of painting and repair services, please call us at 910-686-3067.

Ombre Paint Finishes in your Home

December 9, 2013 By

Blue Ombre Wall PaintSay Yes to Ombre!

This is a style trend that spans several mediums, including clothing fabric, upholstery textiles, and even hair! Pronounced “ahm-bray” it’s a French term that means “shaded.” To create ombre, shade variations of one color are produced in a pattern that slowly graduates from light to dark.

In achieving an ombre finish with paint, three shades of the same color are used. Picture a wall-beginning at the top portion that meets the ceiling. The lightest shade of paint is applied here along one third of the top section. Next, the medium shade is applied along the middle third of the wall with the darkest shade going on last along the bottom third, that meets the floor.

Depending on the color of choice, the effect can be bold (deep hues of red or orange) or soothing (shades of sea glass green or Azalea pink). It is also possible to blend separate colors for an ombre rainbow. Typically, this paint treatment is best reserved for just one accent wall.

Fun projects such as ombre paint finishes are our specialty at Colour Solutions! Please give us a call at 910-686-3067 to make an appointment with one of our helpful painting experts.

Update Your Kitchen Cabinets with Colorful Interiors

November 25, 2013 By

Kitchen & Cabinet PaintingHave you ever heard the expression, “What looks in looks out”? If you’ve been looking into a dark, worn, or otherwise lackluster space each time you open your kitchen cabinets, consider giving them a makeover. Homeowners with glass cabinet doors in their kitchens already know how accenting these areas can add interest and a whole different dimension to the kitchen. The same kind of magic happens when the interior shelves, sides, and backs of cabinetry is given a pop of color.

Consider also how many times on any given day that family members reach into the kitchen cabinets for a plate, glass, mug, or snack. Painting the inside woodwork a cheery or contrasting shade can give everyone a little boost as opposed to reaching onto a dreary, beat up, shelf. Another makeover possibility when the inside is painted in a festive shade is that a few or all-cabinet doors can be removed for an updated, yet retro/vintage look.

When choosing an interior cabinet color for the kitchen, it helps to keep a few points in mind:

  • Do you want to have a contrasting accent color that’s much darker or lighter than the outside framework and doors?
  • How will the new interior color compliment your stacks of dishes and glassware?
  • Are you already using a defined accent color elsewhere in your kitchen? That may be the direction to take.
  • In addition to creating a contrasting finish, monochromatic paint jobs are another way to go. These are especially attractive in more formal or contemporary kitchens, where interesting color choices for the cabinets can add sophistication and a little drama!
  • Even if the woodwork on the cabinetry exterior is stained, painting the interior can still make an impact. Choosing the right color to accent the wood finish can create a very subtle design scheme. For example, for an industrial modern feel that makes a bold statement, try oil stained ebony cabinets with red, fuchsia or emerald interiors. Natural oak doors with robin egg blue, mint green or lemon yellow interiors say country fresh.
  • It is also possible to use several colors when redoing cabinet interiors. This tends to either create a stylized contemporary look, or depending on the color palette, it may translate into something more whimsical.
