Project Description

This home in Bexley, Ohio, had great bones. Classic brickwork. Arched windows. Beautiful gables. But it needed a refresh. The kind of update that not only modernizes a home but also brings out its original charm.

Our team at Sharper Impressions Columbus was hired for a full exterior transformation—everything from power washing and repairs to brick painting, color consulting, and detailed trim work. The homeowners wanted a bold, clean look. Something modern, but timeless. And they didn’t want to cut corners.

We spent three days on-site, prepping every surface and applying high-performance coatings made to last through Ohio’s changing seasons. While every project is unique in price, we offer free, personalized estimates so homeowners know exactly what to expect.

Background/Story:

When the homeowners first reached out, they weren’t sure where to start. They had lived in the house for several years. It was a good home, full of character—but the exterior no longer reflected their style. The brick was tired. The trim had faded. It looked older than it felt.

They told us they wanted to feel proud when they pulled into the driveway again.

One of their biggest concerns? Making the right color choices. They didn’t want to blend in, but they also didn’t want to go too bold and regret it later. During our consultation, we walked the property with them. Talked about what they loved. What they didn’t. We showed samples, shared ideas, and settled on a cool, modern gray for the brick, paired with fresh white trim and a deep blue accent color that made their arches pop.

It was a team effort. And it felt right.

Scope of Services

• Exterior Cleaning: Power washed the entire home to remove dirt, mildew, and loose debris in preparation for paint.
• Brick Preparation: Cleaned and primed all brick surfaces with Sherwin-Williams Loxon Concrete and Masonry Primer to ensure adhesion and durability.
• Brick Painting: Painted the home’s brick exterior with Sherwin-Williams 7671 On The Rocks for a cool, modern base color.
• Trim Repairs: Repaired damaged trim boards and window casings to restore structural integrity and clean lines.
• Wood Rot Repair: Addressed any soft spots in the wood before painting to ensure a lasting finish.
• Detail Painting: Accented the arches, gables, and trim with Sherwin-Williams 6796 Blue Plate to highlight architectural features.
• Color Consultation: Guided the client through a color selection process to create a bold yet timeless exterior palette.

Results:

The difference was immediate.

The brick looked brand new. The sharp white trim gave it life. And those bold blue accents? They turned the home’s architectural features into true highlights. This house didn’t just get painted—it got personality.

The homeowners were ecstatic. Their exact words:
“It’s like a completely different home. We finally feel like it reflects who we are.”

They told us they’d recommend Sharper Impressions Columbus to friends, neighbors—anyone who wanted quality work done with care.

And honestly? That’s the best part of what we do. It’s not just about color on a wall. It’s about helping people fall in love with their home again.
