The dark blue-grey really makes that brickwork pop. Make your home stand out on the block with a fresh look from Sharper Impressions Painting.

This home was built in the 1970's and was in need of some updating. The brick was in good condition, but needed a dark olive taupe to spruce it up. The painted chimney really brings out the new roof too. See how we matched the window frame colors with the front porch post to tie it all in?

This customer just moved in and was doing some serious remodeling. They did not like the pinkish and dated brick. Our color consultant recommended a softer color to go over the brick with a nice glossy white on the trim.

Before the house was all chopped up with different surfaces and colors. Now look how much more stately the front looks. The single color across the entire front makes the home look so much more grand!

The after doesn't have the new black shutters installed yet, but we just couldn't wait to share this transformation.

The customer picked out the color herself and we think she absolutely NAILED IT! This is a 3-peat customer of ours that recently moved into their new home. They wanted to change out the barn red color for something that was more contemporary. We had 3 neighbors come up while we were painting and said they loved the new look too.

Truth be told, the garage door takes up a large portion of the face of most homes. Maintain appeal and condition with a fresh coat of paint!

Before our free color consultant worked with this customer they had a boring cream beige color on the entire house and faded shutters. After our painting they got a completely updated and modern fresh look. We changed the body of the house to a two tone color scheme and the shutters got a glossy deep accented color.They will be able to enjoy their new exterior for 10 plus years to come!

Before our customer had a builder two tone color scheme with white trim and faded beige on the siding. Our customer and our color consultant selected a single new modern beige-grey color for the body of the home.  The shutters, front door and garage doors were painted a matching glossy deeper accent color. The neighbors say this is a much more updated feel and cleaner look!

We took this early 1990’s blue color and updated it with the help of our free color consultant.
Our customer really liked how the new black glossy shutters looked against her dark roof.
This is the type of major color change that transformed the outside of our customers house and brought it up to modern design.
