HOW TO SELECT EXTERIOR PAINT

How to Select Paint - Exterior House Painting

Selecting exterior paint is a very personal choice for most people. Many factors need to be considered when it comes to exterior house painting. And with so many colors of paint available, choosing a color can feel like an impossible task.

We will help you choose the type of paint that will work on the surface of your exterior. Vinyl, brick, wood and fiber-cement siding all have paints that work better or worse on them. Understanding what works best often comes from experience. The same is true for painting stucco finishes.

When selecting a paint color for your exterior many factors can come into play. Homeowners need to consider any homeowners association rules that would affect the color choice. Many New Berlin homeowners will have their home repainted the same color, or a color very similar. That is the easy and safe decision.

Others will look for a more dramatic impact in a house painting project. If that's you, you should be sure to consider:

  • Other houses in the neighborhood. Most homeowners don't want to pick a color that sticks out as inappropriate.
  • What colors would fit with the original style and era of your home?
  • Are you painting everything on the exterior of your home (doors, shudders, etc.) or just the walls?

That third question is a big one. It can be difficult for New Berlin area homeowners to picture how the new color will be affected by its surroundings. It's one thing to hold a paint swatch up and a completely different thing when that color is painted on the entire house.

Other Surfaces

Selecting paint or stain for the other surfaces inside or outside your home, office building or rental property can be just as challenging. While the designers on television can make creating a unified look seem easy, at TPC The Painting Company we know it can be much harder in reality. When you work with us, we'll rely on our knowledge, expertise and experience to help you select the paint, stain or other finish that will work best for you.

    Exterior Painting Services
    Our home's exterior needed fresh paint. Having painted it myself ten years ago, I knew how much work was involved. I also knew I didn't want to be on a tall ladder now that I'm past 60. We searched for local painters and got some quotes. TPC's price was good and they didn't try to upsell us. They also had a carpenter available to replace some trim. That my brother and sister had both used TPC made them an easy choice. Working with Ben and TPC was easy. - I requested Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh instead of TPC's usual SW Superpaint. No problem. Ben added a modest upcharge which was about the actual cost difference to TPC. - I wanted to do some near-ground repair work before TPC painted. No problem. Ben brought me a gallon each of paint and primer, and a tube of caulk. - I asked Ben for advice (what would he do if this was his house) and he gave good advice, even though it meant less billable work for him. - I wanted a second coat in some areas, extra attention in others, and some areas skipped. No problem. Ben and his crew did everything requested and they did it very well. Ben, Adam and their TPC crew arrived yesterday and finished the last bits this morning. Our home looks great and we couldn't be happier. We would gladly hire them again (but don't expect to need to for a good, long time). PS: TPC's carpenter, Erich, was great to work with, too. His actual cost came in at about half of his original quote.

  • We can't speak highly enough about TPC. They painted the interior and exterior of our home. Their team of 7 guys works quickly and efficiently. Adam's communication was amazing before and during the project. The team showed up exactly when he said they would and took just 2 days to paint our house as promised. Ben even kindly handled my indecision regarding a paint color so nicely. A nice group of guys doing great work. Thank you! We recommend TPC to everyone!

    Ben and his crew did a wonderful job on the interior of my home. Ben and his crew did all 3 floors in my home in one day. The professionalism Ben and his crew showed was top notch. Would recommend them to anyone and would have them back for any future projects.
