It’s inevitable. No matter how much we love our homes, our styles and tastes change over time. At one point or another, you'll probably want to update the look and feel of your home’s exterior. But it's not as tough as it sounds; you can achieve a total makeover with a simple paint job. Painting the exterior finish revamps the home's appearance for your family and visitors heading up the driveway.
Painting a home’s exterior can be a very large task, however, and one that should be carefully planned out. Before tackling the job yourself, make sure that you have all the tools of the trade and as many safety measures as possible to ensure that you don’t get hurt in the process. For those of you who may be coordinationally challenged, it's advisable to hire an experienced professional to do the job.
Color Selection
Of course, half the battle is choosing the right colors for your maison makeover. The web, magazines and home catalogs are great sources for checking out various color schemes. It’s sort of like flipping through the book of hairdos at the barber shop or salon; see what draws your interest and then picture your home with those changes.
Complementary Colors
If you’re having trouble with complementary colors, most home improvement centers or paint stores have color cards with swatches of three colors to complement each other. This gives you a better idea of how they’ll blend into one great look.

Thank you John for a superb job especially the way you cleaned up at the end of each day, it was nice to come home after work and find our home in same manner as we had left that morning except for the beautiful new paint on our walls and trim. I will highly recommend Burke Painting to any of my family and friends who are looking for a custom painter.
I've already recommended you to a couple of my friends. Thank you for a first rate custom paint job, my doors look like they have a factory paint finish on them. Exactly what I was looking for. -- Darlene - Lafayette
