Pressure Washing Your Deck in NC

July 31, 2012 By

Pressure Washing Wilmington NCDid you know that in addition to interior and exterior painting, Colour Solutions also offers pressure washing?

Summer is a great time to give your outdoor space a good, thorough cleaning and pressure washing is a great way to get rid of tough mildew and ugly debris that has been accumulating over winter and spring.

Pressure washing is a service we offer using special equipment that sprays a mixture of water and cleaning solution at a concentrated pressure onto your deck or your home’s exterior. The method is relatively fast and inexpensive and can greatly improve your home’s appearance.

A few reasons to pressure wash your deck or home:

Removes mildew and debris, which can cause damage and make your home look older than it is.

Gives your deck a fresh, clean look. (A great way to get your deck ready for entertaining this summer!)

Makes your deck/home more attractive to potential buyers. (If you’re putting your home on the market, pressure washing is highly recommended).

Extends the life of your exterior paint or stain.

Removes visible mold and algae as well as the spores they release, making it a proactive way to keep your deck/home clean.

Over time, exposure to the elements and extreme weather can make your deck deteriorate. By regularly power washing your deck, you can help extend its life. Since we live in the South, where heat and humidity are part of everyday life, it is recommended that you power wash your deck or home exterior once every 2 years.

North Carolina House Painting

May 3, 2012 By

Living in southeastern North Carolina means your home will inevitably be subjected to salt, wind and rain. Although it’s rare along the coast, your home’s exterior could even endure below-freezing temperatures with snow and ice. Therefore, when it comes to choosing a paint product for your home, you’ll want to invest in something that will stand up to the elements.

Here are a few helpful tips when it comes to choosing a paint for your North Carolina home’s exterior:

–> Oil-based paints are more likely to chalk and fade in sunny exposure. If your home is in an area where it gets high amounts of afternoon sun, you may want to consider a latex alternative.
Latex-based paint holds color well, even when exposed to bright sun and heat.

–> According to Realty Time magazine, the most popular exterior paint colors are white, gray, blue, tan/brown, cream, beige, green, yellow and red. White remains the most popular choice of all.

–> Most realtors suggest painting your house a light color or a pale shade of gray. This is because lighter colors make a home seem larger.

–> “Historic” colors are popular in some areas. Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams have been catering to this trend, as seen with colors such as “Williamsburg Blue,” “Queen Anne Pink” or “Yorktowne Green.”

–> Always check with your home owner’s association (if you have one) before choosing a paint color for your home. Some HOAs have restrictions on exterior paint colors, since it can affect the value of other homes in the neighborhood.

–> Depending on your home’s siding material and how exposed it is to the elements, you should consider repainting your home every 5-10 years.

Pressure Washing For Wilmington NC Spring Clean Up

March 22, 2011 By

Pressure Washing Wilmington NCWilmington, North Carolina is home to the NC Azalea Festival, an annual celebration of spring that highlights the area’s gorgeous gardens and Zone 8 plants (including full bloom azaleas, of course!) as well as artwork, history, and culture. Complete with an Azalea Queen and her southern, hoop-skirted Belles, the Azalea Fest draws huge crowds to the area for the pagentry, garden tours and parties, parades, street fair, and concerts.

With all these visitors in town – maybe even a few staying at your own house – this is the ideal time to get your home or business pressure washed and cleaned up in time for their arrival. Pressure washing is a relatively easy way to wash off the grime from the winter and especially from the spring pollen dusting that turns the whole town green in mid-March.  However, pressure washing is not so easy if you don’t have the equipment, tools, and materials necessary to get the job done right.

This is where you can hire a professional who has all the right equipment and resources to do the job efficiently and quickly. You can even take the opportunity to have them touch up any exterior paint that may have chipped or peeled over the winter.

Colour Solutions Painting Company in Wilmington NC specializes in pressure washing, house painting, and commercial painting – for both interior and exterior surfaces. Give them a call to help spruce up your home for Azalea Festival – you’ll be so happy you did: 910-686-3067.
