Extreme house color change – How to save money doing this…

We recently completed a home that was newly purchased by first time home buyers and they were ready to make their house a HOME.

The first discussion was the concern they had of changing the current color which was white to a deep red color.  Often in the past drastic color changes were done by applying a full exterior primer tinted to the finish coat color or priming the house with a gray tinted primer to provide an adequate base coat to begin with.

If you have ever repainted a room with a color change you may have experienced applying two, three and sometimes four coats of paint to come up with the desired end results.

We offered a two coat application that saved the homeowner’s money and time their house was being worked on by upgrading the paint to a premium paint.  The paint we used to change the small farm style home from white to Cottage Red by Benjamin Moore was Aura exterior paint.

Benjamin Moore has a wide range of paints starting with the economy priced paints ll the way to the Premium Aura paints that provide coverage and depth of color that is second to none.

We prefer to provide the homeowner a premium paint as the cost per gallon is approximately $ 20.00 more per gallon over their Regal Select line but the coverage and color lock technology which provides richer deeper colors and are more fade resistant makes it all worth the extra cost.

On average a mid size ranch home may take 9 gallons of paint to provide a two coat application and by switching to the Benjamin Moore premium Aura paint the cost upgrade is $180.00. 

Our customers have loved our choice of using Aura paints and we can then offer them a 5 year no questions asked warranty on EVERY paint project we perform.
