After/Before

Phase One of the repaint is complete.  A couple of revisions in process, to be expected, on the studio colors.  After seeing the studio siding painted gray and the fascia burgundy, realized that the entire house needed to be one color palette -- all the siding is now Moderne White, the soffits Take Five and the fascia Mindful Gray.  All are Sherwin Williams Duration paint. The siding was a challenge due to the large expanse of the profile and satin finish of the paint. That caused a lot of uneven areas in spite of multiple attempts to get it to look as it should. D&W Painting did the work, and made it look right in the end; I'm happy with the result.

Up next are the awnings and then the galvalume roofing panels.  Then the doors and remaining metal.  There's still some of the old red lurking about here and there; white primer will cover it soon.

Here are a couple of before and after shots.  The front window treatment was also installed last week, so things are starting to pull together, inside and out.  It took a few days to adjust to the very different feel of the house in its new colors!  After a lot of second guessing and multiple "final decisions" about what colors to use, I'm glad this project is moving forward and is on-track.  It will make a much better background to the new landscaping coming in fall 09.
