When choosing exterior colors, it's important to take hues into affect, choosing the wrong color palette can effect the entire street. This may sound like a lot of pressure when it comes to choosing a palette, here are some tips to consider when choosing your exterior color palette.

Plan around elements that are hardest to change, such as roof shingles, tiles or stonework. Are they warm? (choose a beige, khaki, brown or rust) or cool (gray,blue or black).

Architectural Style and Era: For older homes, many paint manufactures offer collections of historically accurate colors.

Lighting and Samples: Exterior shades can vary significantly from the way they appear on the chip/swatch. Painting inconspicuous areas of your home is a good way to test out colors in different types of light, weather and or seasons.

If you are still unsure of a color palette, a professional color consultation will be needed to assist you in your decision making.

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)
