Painting your home’s exterior is a significant undertaking, but it’s one of the best ways to enhance its appearance and curb appeal. Quality exterior paint always makes a difference in your final results, which is why The Painted Horse carries Benjamin Moore exterior paint. Our paint specialists have the know-how you need to give your home’s exterior the fresh, new look it deserves. 

Choosing an Exterior Paint Color


There’s a lot more pressure when it comes to selecting an exterior paint color. If you choose a color for an interior space you do not like, it’s a relatively quick fix to repaint four walls. On the other hand, the entire exterior of your house is a very different scenario. Fortunately, we have some tips to help you choose a color you’ll love:


  • Working with your home’s style and the other homes in your neighborhood is essential. You want your home to stand out on your street, but not for the wrong reasons. Most houses look best when painted in a neutral shade. 
  • Always remember that trends are not your friend. Keeping up with the latest craze in fashion and furniture is fine because it’s much easier to switch up your wardrobe and furnishings than the color of your home’s exterior. 
  • Make sure to test a few colors and look at them at different times of day to get a better feel for their true appearance. Many colors, especially grays, appear lighter when applied. 
  • Brickwork and foundations that you’re not planning to paint will play a significant role in determining the best exterior paint color. You want your home’s color to blend well with existing design components, including the undertones of masonry.

Tips for Exterior Painting Success


When you take on exterior painting, you want to get it right the first time. Knowing as much as possible about the process before beginning can help make this happen. 


  1. Check the forecast. Paint doesn’t adhere to damp surfaces, so you want to plan your project for the middle of a dry week. 
  2. The prep work is just as important as the painting. You’ll need to thoroughly clean and sand surfaces to give the exterior paint the most agreeable surface for adhesion.
  3. You will need drop cloths; protecting the surrounding area while painting isn’t just for interior jobs. Drop cloths will help keep you from dripping paint on your landscaping and outdoor furniture. 
  4. Start painting at the top and work your way down. This tactic allows you to work with gravity instead of against it and can help reduce drips and lap marks. 
  5. Make sure you give yourself enough time to paint. This is especially true while you’re using a ladder. Rushing increases the risk of mistakes and falls.
