Painting Houston with Rich Colors

Pro Painters provides many  Houston exterior painting color options through the use of high quality paint from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.
  •       Sherwin Williams’s Hearthstone Brown with Richmond Green trim color work well when painting Houston exteriors in the greener, wooded areas of the region. 
  •       You could also choose lighter, neutral colors for painting Houston homes.  The subdued colors of  Sherwin Williams’s Relaxed Khaki for the body and Universal Khaki as the trim color creates a soothing tone on tone quality.
  •       Don’t stop at your residence or business in Houston. Exterior painting can revive the look of your vacation home in Galveston.  For your beach house, try a light neutral color for the body of home. Then for your trim, reflect the tones of the sea with a bright blue green like Benjamin Moore’s Blue Spa.

Houston Exterior Painting Tips


At Pro Painters, we offer unrivaled Houston exterior painting services. Our experienced painters pay the strictest attention to detail, producing quality work that is long-lasting and representative of your family’s tastes and personality. Our Houston exterior painting comes with a five year warranty on all materials and labor. As the summer approaches, there may be some projects you are keen to start on before the weather becomes too hot. For those of you who are avid and skilled painters, we have a few tips that may just save you some time when it comes to exterior painting.  

1. Decide on the color well in advance by applying swatches of paint to scrap wood, holding them up against the trim paint for comparison.




2. Make sure to scrape off all the loose paint of the older coat. Older putty knives are the perfect tool for this exterior painting task. By doing this, you ensure that the new coat will look uniform and smooth.

3. It is extremely important to prime the exterior of your home before applying the new color. Many people skip this step in the interest of saving time and money, but it really makes all the difference when it comes to the final products.

4. A good Houston exterior painting job is always preceded by time spent caulking gaps, unwanted knots and additional seams between wooden siding pieces. Don’t start painting until the caulk is totally dry. Smooth it down if necessary with a block of sand paper.

5. During this last step, complete your Houston exterior painting project by working on small areas at a time, making sure to pay close attention to edges and areas around the trim and roof line.




We hope these simple steps help make your exterior painting a successful and fun experience!
