Project: Exterior painting
Color: Deep charcoal
Surfaces: Siding, gables, trim

The house

A newly built home in Pittstown with lap siding, board-and-batten gables, black-framed windows and a wide rear deck going in. The original pale exterior didn't match the modern look the owners wanted.

The paint

We tested color samples right on the siding, then painted the lap siding, board-and-batten and trim in a deep charcoal. Every window, door and fixture was protected and cut in by hand, and the dark color now frames the black windows and the wood front door.
