Materials & Process

The home was finished in Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint / Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec Exterior, with a warm taupe-brown body color, white window and door trim, and the existing brick base left unpainted for contrast.

Before painting, surfaces were power washed, wood-to-wood joints were caulked, and loose or flaking paint was scraped and sanded. Carpentry repairs were completed first, replacing rotted trim with new Hardie board, so the new paint went over a solid, repaired surface.
