Project Description

This  house repaint projectcul-de-sac in Westerville, OH, was all about making a bold, modern statement—without compromising the charm of the home’s architecture. The homeowner was ready for a full exterior refresh and came to Sharper Impressions Columbus looking for expert guidance on both color selection and execution.

The house was a mid-sized two-story with a mix of horizontal siding and shingle shake wood siding at the peaks. We took on a full exterior repaint, handled wood rot repairs, performed a complete power wash, and included color consultation with digital renderings. This allowed the customer to preview different black and white combinations before any work began.

The entire project was completed in just four days, thanks to a focused, efficient crew. Projects of this scope typically range in price, but we always begin with a free estimate customized to each home’s needs.

Background/Story:

Our client had a clear vision: they wanted to give their home a sleek, modern update using a black-and-white color scheme. But like many homeowners, they were overwhelmed by the hundreds of available shades of white and black. What looked great on a paint swatch sometimes didn’t work on a large exterior wall—and they didn’t want to take that risk.

They turned to Sharper Impressions Columbus not just for painting, but for guidance. That’s where our in-house color consultant and Photoshop rendering process came in. We took photos of their home and digitally applied the chosen colors—allowing them to see exactly how the transformation would look before a single drop of paint was used.

This process gave the homeowner confidence, and once the final colors were selected, our crew got to work. The customer wanted to keep some traditional character while injecting some serious curb appeal—and we delivered.

Scope of Services

• Full Exterior Repaint: Complete color change for siding, garage doors, front doors, trim, and accents.

• Color Consultation: Guided the client through the overwhelming world of whites and blacks with expert recommendations.

• Digital Rendering: Created realistic before-and-after images so the client could preview the final look.

• Power Washing: Cleaned all surfaces thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, and old oxidation before painting.

• Wood Rot Repair: Repaired and replaced any damaged areas to ensure paint would adhere properly and last.

Results:

The results were nothing short of stunning. The home now features a clean white body with rich black accents that frame the structure beautifully. The shingle shake peaks, painted in bold black, add dimension and a touch of personality. The columns and porch—now fully coated in Black Magic—give the home a timeless, elegant front-facing presence.

The garage doors and front door received two coats of black paint for a smooth, consistent finish. Even the gutters and downspouts, once stained and faded, now appear brand new thanks to the fresh trim paint. The final result is a home that turns heads for all the right reasons—sleek, intentional, and modern without feeling cold or sterile.

Our customer was thrilled. They mentioned how helpful it was to visualize everything beforehand, and how impressed they were with the final product. “We were nervous about such a big color change, but Sharper Impressions Columbus made it easy—and now we absolutely love it. It’s better than we imagined.”

At Sharper Impressions Columbus, this is exactly the kind of transformation we love to be part of. With the right plan, professional tools, and a little color courage, even a few days of work can completely elevate your home’s exterior.
