Project Description
This front house painting project focused on refreshing the front exterior of a home in Berkeley, CA. The work was completed after recent fire-hardening upgrades, including new front steps.
The stucco was painted in a warm dark beige, while the window frames and sash were updated with complementary grey and green tones. This combination gave the home a clean and updated look without changing its original style.
The exterior painting project was completed in two days. By focusing on the front of the home, the most visible area now feels polished and well-maintained.
Background Story:
Tom and Jane have been long-time clients of Arana Craftsman Painters, going back to an interior project completed years ago. After finishing fire-hardening work on the front of their home, they reached out again to complete the final step.
The upgrades left the front exterior looking incomplete, especially with new steps in place. They wanted the front of the home to feel finished and tie everything together visually.
Arana Craftsman Painters helped select colors that would work with the existing structure while adding a subtle update. The goal was to keep the home looking natural while improving the overall appearance from the street.
Scope of Services:
- Front House Painting: The front exterior was repainted to refresh the appearance and complete the recent exterior updates.
- Stucco Painting: The stucco surface was painted to create a smooth and even base color.
- Window Frame and Sash Painting: Window frames and sash were painted in accent colors to add contrast and detail.
- Exterior Surface Preparation: Prep work was completed to improve paint adhesion and create a clean final finish.
Paint Products Used:
- Benjamin Moore Regal
- Stucco Color Dark Beige 2165-40
- Window Frames Crownsville Grey HC 106
- Window Sash Louisburg Green HC 113
Project Cost:
Approximately $3,500 for front exterior repaint and detail work.
Results:
After two days, the front of the home had a clean and finished look. The updated colors helped highlight the windows and added depth to the stucco.
The new paint tied in well with the recent fire-hardening work, making the front exterior feel complete. This front house painting project shows how a focused update can make a strong impact.
If you’ve recently completed exterior upgrades, finishing with a front house painting project can bring everything together. Even a small area can make a big difference in how your home looks from the street.
