Whether you are getting a fresh coat of paint on your home exteriors or just looking to make some improvements, one of the biggest factors in the outcome of the exterior look of your home is the colour you choose. For exterior wall paint, you need to know which colours will work (and which don’t) before you start painting away. Blue, brown, beige, charcoal grey and olive green are popular exterior colour choices. A combination of the colours can work well to make your home stand apart. Subtle contrasting colours on the trim or windowpanes are a great way to enhance the architectural elements.

According to colour psychology, different shades have the potential to make people feel certain ways. Colour is a form of non-verbal communication. For example, green is often interpreted to represent abundance, freshness and hope. Different shades and tints of green can also convey certain emotions. For example, light green carries a different meaning than dark green. A sage green carries a different meaning than lime green. The former being reminiscent of a muted, subtle green whilst the latter reminds you of an almost neon-like green with yellow undertones. Many painters, artists and creators use these associations to emphasise the messages of their works.

If you are planning to put your house on the market in the near future, the wise course is to consider which exterior paint colour is going to attract buyers and even increase the value of your home. It might seem like a lot of work to begin with but if you pick the right exterior colours and get a reliable painting service like Berger Express Painting, then the returns on your investment will be a lot higher since freshly painted home exteriors can boost your home’s value by leaps and bounds.

Your terrace is the most exposed area of the house that faces harsh weather conditions. This includes heavy rains and scorching summers. Such climate changes can deteriorate the condition of your roof because of water seepage if precautions are not taken to begin with. It is often leakage from the terrace that causes major dampness in the ceilings. This is why you need to waterproof your terrace to prevent potential damage. Look out for areas like pipes that come through the roof or parapet wall, water tank corners, cables and electric wires etc. that need to be taken care of when waterproofing. Where possible, drainage needs to be integrated, must be of proper size and made available all over the roof. Get in touch with Berger Home Shield for the best waterproofing solutions.
