I want to repair some of the spots on the eaves and on the fascia and then paint the entire trim of the house (white). I can find out what to use but I don't know how much to pay. The house is 1008 sf and only the corners of the fascia that have been battered by the wind and rain are really in need of repairs, so there will not be a lot of scraping but still, I don't know what the ball park $ is for this. Can anyone give me an idea please. thanks

Thank you all for you opinions! OK, if I go with semi the SW rep told me to use the "Metal Latex" over the dark primer. Is that good stuff? The BM impervo doesn't come in Semi right? So in order to get the impervo's smooth oil-like finish I have to go with satin sheen or choose another trim paint? Does anyone just use the type of paint they used on the wall, but in a higher sheen? I'm using SW Duration Home in satin on the walls...so could I just use that in the semi gloss on the trim? Or will it REALY not smooth out enough? For Turkish Coffee the painter said 3 coats, not the normal 2. Is he talking 3 on top of the primer then if everyone primes first??? He didn't clarify, but some of the cheaper estimators said 2 coats. (I made the dumb assumption primers were a given and weren't counted when they were talking about how many coats)

At first, I was thinking a light gray could work, if it picks up one of the brick colors. I think the white trim here also helps balance that pairing. This was a custom color, but it looks way less brown based than Gauntlet Gray to me, more like the steel tones of your lightest gray brick. Then I started to think that with all your roof, a dark gray, like Gauntlet Gray would divide your rather short house. That's probably why it's painted a color close to the roof. Here's a dark gray shorter house,(painted something like Winchester Gray, a poster thinks.) that has a matching roof, unlike yours. Personally, I wouldn't like this dark gray on your house. Would you ever consider going to a chocolate brown, with red accents? Here, your roof is the third color, as is their orangey natural wood trim. Paint the garage the red. Your setting is gorgeous!

A Sherwin Williams employee told me that he really does not recommend their semi-gloss. The house will be painted in a satin finish, and I wanted the semi-gloss on the trim. Our painters have no problem using the Benjamin Moore paint, and I thought it would be a good product since we are located near the ocean. Thanks for your suggestion. I could have Benjamin Moore color match the most commonly used white that goes with Sea Salt. However, now I am leaning toward BM Super White. Have you used Sea Salt with white in your consulting business? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks for any help.
