In Need of Design/Paint Advice: Exterior House Update-Roof & Paint
Comments (3)I'm not a fan of painting brick as it turns a no maintenance product into a long term maintenance issue. The brick seems to have more browns than grays in it but the roof is gray. You need to find a color that marries the two. Something in the taupe family would work. Also, a couple of other things. If you plan on keeping shutters I would switch to a wider shutter that is correctly sized for you windows. The current ones are too narrow. Also, the area without a railing in front of the door needs to have one installed. Building codes require them if the change in elevation is more than 30", which yours definitely is.

Comments (6)Thanks catlady999! Peaking the flat roof would be ideal and I love tin roofs. Those were my first thoughts too so I got some estimates form a local contractors and it will cost an extra $30K on top of what insurance will pay for the roof. We have about $30K to put towards improvements in total (in addition to insurance work) and upgrading the small 1950s kitchen is a must so unfortunately the roof lines will have to stay as is. Great idea though :)...See Moreexterior house painting....advice needed!
Comments (4)Are you planning to sell your house? Then you should repaint the interior and exterior of your house. Because painting will increase the value of your house. But you have to choose the right painters to paint your house. House Painting New Orleans...See Morerepainting exterior of house and want to change out the main color.
Comments (18)It is difficult sometimes for us to assess colors via the internet. What we see may not relate well to what you are seeing. How do you like Pavestone? It is not as gray, but still pretty neutral. This should have reduced the purple. Operative word 'Should'. Lighting is different on every home and geography....See MoreAnna (6B/7A in MD)
