Home Maintenance You Probably Overlooked
July 15, 2014 By
Summer is here! Don’t neglect those outbuildings and garden structures.
Did you ever stop to think that a property is judged by all of the structures on the premises? Even though the house and its landscaping may be HGTV worthy, the smaller outbuildings and garden structures should never be ignored.
Otherwise, run down, broken or dirty gazebos, benches, pergolas, fences, garden sheds and outdoor showers can cast big ugly shadows on a home’s reputation. The same goes for fences and pool surroundings.
Fortunately, when you contact Colour Solutions, you’ll reach the one-stop-shopping solution for such matters! Not only are we an experienced team of professional painters and stainers, we also pressure wash and make small repairs.
We have discovered that some homeowners choose to ignore their outbuildings, such as pump houses and garden sheds. The school of thought is something like, “They’re doing their job, no need to draw attention to them.” Guess what? A good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint can transform these minor little buildings into a focal point! Not to mention, a bit of maintenance will extend the life of just about anything.

Time to Seal the Deck!
June 15, 2014 By
Your deck just called and said, “What are they waiting for? Summer and prime deck season are practically here!”
There’s no question that sealing a deck falls under the category of “big jobs.” That’s why you should leave it to the experts at Colour Solutions.
We have learned that in order to ensure the best protection for your deck, annual maintenance is key.
Here in southeastern NC, decks can take a beating from all that heavy rain, frozen precipitation and brutal ultraviolet rays. Unless the decking timbers are sealed each year, rapid deterioration is a danger.
If you’ve been told that a good way to judge if your deck is due for a sealant is to see if water droplets bead up, sorry not true! Although some products contain paraffin wax, which does lend to beading, others such as oil-based sealers do not. The best policy is to just take care of this task annually, either each spring or at least by early summer.
A bonus that comes when you use our team to seal your deck is that we’re also professional pressure washers! (say that 3 times fast) We use low-pressure powerwashers that will not damage the wood surface of the decking timbers.
New Deck
If you’ve just built a home that has a nice new deck, we suggest having it professionally sealed four weeks or more post construction. To speed up the aging process which is sometimes necessary for new wood, we would likely pressure wash your deck to remove any glazes or treatments that were applied at the mill.
Along with sealing, of course we can handle any type of accompanying paint or stain job. Many coastal homeowners love the look of white painted trim and natural, but sealed, decking. Another popular look for decks today involves using stain on the railings and a sealer on the floor. The stain is usually tinted to match the trim of your house.
We’d love to work with you and get your deck in the best shape possible!

Put Pressure Washing on Your Springtime “To-Do” List
May 7, 2014 By
There are plenty of seasoned homeowners out there who have their homes pressure washed on an annual basis. They have recognized the amazing results this quick and cost-effective procedure delivers. In addition to cleaning up a home’s exterior, pressure washing can make decks, porches, patios, walkways, and driveways look like new!
Many homeowners put off having their residences professionally pressure washed because they are afraid that doing so will cause the paint to pop off here and there. They worry that in turn; they may have to paint the entire place. In fact, we have had customers who contracted us for pressure washing in anticipation that afterwards, their home would be in need of an exterior paint job. Imagine their delight when after the Colour Solutions team washed away a year’s worth of dirt and mildew, the existing paint looked great!
Another reason we are such fans of pressure washing is that it is handy for a number of applications. Did you know that a variety of things can be transformed with a little pressure washing? It could be that your entire exterior is ok, but other areas around your home could benefit from the expertise of our pressure washing crew. Consider these smaller jobs that may be on your “to-do” list already:
- Fences and gates – Exposed to the elements, they take a beating and are not the easiest things to clean, until you call Colour Solutions’ pressure washing team!
- Porch ceiling s- These tend to gather cobwebs, mildew, and dust. Who wants to look at that all spring and summer?
- Patio/deck furniture – Oh yes we can and what a difference you’ll see!
- Front steps/stoops/deck steps – Because steps and stoops are also exposed directly to the elements, they can get filthy in a hurry. Excessive moisture can contribute to the growth of mildew and sometimes moss, which are very slippery and dangerous when wet. Why not let us blast it away?
- Foundations – When the foundation is not looking its best, it casts a dreary shadow on the entire home. Pressure washing is the perfect solution for every type of foundation out there, including, brick, stone, wood, and stucco.
- Garage floors – What a difference pressure washing can make in one of the home’s heaviest/dirtiest traffic areas (See: Tired of your Garage Floors? Colour Solutions Can Help!)
We like to think that no job is too big or too small. As part of your spring cleaning, please give your home the critical eye and decide if a visit from the Colour Solutions pressure washing crew is in order! Just give us a call for a free estimate: 910-686-3067!
