North Carolina House Painting

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

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.

Finding the Right Paint Contractor in Wilmington NC

If you’re looking to do any home repair or maintenance – interior or exterior – to either fix something in disrepair or to spruce up and update your home, then painting might be on your list – or at least not far from the list! Painting is one of the best and easiest ways to both help repair exterior or interior issues and give your home a fresh, new look.

In many home repair or home improvement projects, painting becomes involved often as a way to finish off the project. It’s also a whole project unto itself when you take into account pressure washing, scraping, drywall or wood rot repair, priming, and painting.

House painting – both exterior and interior – is a great way to protect your home from damage caused by weather, temperature, humidity, and wear and tear. It is a relatively inexpensive way to maintain your home if you can manage to keep up with fresh coats of paint every couple of years.

Hiring a professional painting contractor for regular home maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in terms of home repair and improvement. Not only will your home look fresh and clean, the surface and building materials (wood, drywall, etc) will be protected from the elements in order to avoid bigger home repair projects down the road.

Keep up with home painting maintenance and reap the benefits of a great looking house that can stand the test of time.
