Client Vision: Updating a Dated Tudor Style Home
Our homeowner approached us with a clear vision: to modernize her dated Tudor-style house. The existing exterior featured fibrecement board and timber painted in contrasting colors, a look she found unappealing. She desired a more harmonious and contemporary appearance that would enhance the home's street appeal.
Our Solution: Harmonizing with Colour
To achieve this transformation, we selected a complementary color that would blend seamlessly with the existing brickwork. Resene Shark and Resene Half Shark, a deep ebonised charcoal was chosen for its sophistication and ability to minimize contrast.
Preparation: The Foundation of Transformation
Preparation was crucial to the success of this project. Our comprehensive process included:
Pressure Washing: We began by removing accumulated dirt and grime to ensure a clean foundation for painting.
Sanding and Filling: Smoothing surfaces and filling gaps were essential for achieving a great finish.
Priming: Applying a high-quality primer created an ideal base for the new paint, ensuring durability and longevity.
Additional Enhancements: Attention to Detail
Beyond the main exterior surfaces, we extended our attention to several key areas:
Garage Door: The tired garage door received thorough TLC with a fresh coat of paint, revitalizing its appearance.
Roof Repainting: We repainted the roof to ensure a cohesive and refreshed look for the entire home.
Window Timber Accents: Additional timber above the windows was highlighted to add architectural interest and depth to the façade.
The Result: A Cohesive and Modern Aesthetic
The transformation was remarkable. By minimizing contrasting colors and opting for a sophisticated shade that complements the brickwork, the home now boasts a cohesive and modern aesthetic. The careful preparation and attention to detail ensured a high-quality finish that will stand the test of time.
