Ogden Utah Handyman Common Mistakes for Your Exterior Painting Project

Choosing the right paint colors for the exterior part of your home is very important especially for those who want to put a twist on the look of their home. People need to make the right choices to get good results and see the finish they are aiming for.

An exterior painting project can become a hassle if you are not sure you know the paint colors that are proper for your home. Here are some common painting mistakes to avoid when painting your home exterior.

1. Your home looks unappealing and disorganized even after the painting is done.

Do not agree a look just because it looks good during the painting process. If it is done incorrectly, expect that your home will look less appealing. It does not mean that you should get rid of the entire color theme. You can either tone down some of the colors if you want more to be a neutral color. If you are not one to experiment, make a low effort rewarding look by choosing neutral colors for the body, a little vibrant for the trim, and then add color with your accessories and fire fixtures.


2. Your home does not have a cohesive look.

Do not be confused with the result of the painting process. You should consider the reason behind why you choose to remodel your home. Do you want added features for your home? Do you want a more contemporary look? Do you want a traditional look for your home? What makes your home distinct from others? Once you have focused on these important factors, it will be easier to determine the right paint colors to use.

3. Your home does not match your taste when you change the colors.

Choosing good paint colors should be an easy process. Most of the paint stores today have staff members who can help you blend hues together with a result that complements your preference. Make sure to ask for background information or even see their work in person to determine just how successfully they can blend colors to achieve the look you want. If the color you want does not Light up the house walls and ceiling, then you would not want to be stuck with an uncoordinated color on the whole house. You would be better off either using light colors or choosing a neutral color to avoid headaches in the color blending. Do you love vibrant colors? If so, then choose a darker shade for your home paint, as different shades are much easier to work with.

4. Your home does not get a new look when you change the colors.

Do not be zigzag out. Do not be too fast to give in to your natural inclinations. You can choose a darker color but out of character if you pick too light a color. The colors you should select for siding, doors and windows are one to two shades darker than the single color that you are giving to your home. You can add a more vivid color to selected areas for a very dramatic result.

5. You do not take your time in choosing the right colors and do not use a color palette that suits your personality.

Try to choose the right color for your home by taking your time. Whether you are choosing stock sizes or custom colors to be mixed, the color you choose will last for many years to come, maybe even until you get married - make sure it is one you can you love for many more years.

6. You do not use quality paint as the key to your satisfaction.

You may think that sacrificing quality for speed or price is an easy solution - but it is not. There are specific qualities of home paint that are designed to last months on end under everyday use.

7. You just adore your new paint job on the exterior of your home.

While your home is new, you may be very accustomed to your searching for the perfect shade of paint. This is no longer new to you after you are done with your home renovation. This is your chance to explore the colors that are available and choose the best one for you and your family's home.

You will find that when you are in the process of repainting, it is often a process to choose the color, check out the different options available and then make a final decision. Because of the difficulties of painting, you may not be able to choose the best options for you - and this is acceptable as it is not easy painting your home. It is time-consuming when you think of the effort involved. It is a rewarding experience to see your home look great with a beautiful new paint job.
