The Project Story

Restoring Curb Appeal Before the Sale

The exterior paint had faded, and the homeowners wanted the property to present well on the market. The project required more than a color refresh: correcting the Hardie board was essential to achieving a clean, finished appearance.

Why Jim Hired Top-Tier

Jim's Wedgewood home was already on the market, but the fading exterior reduced its curb appeal. Top-Tier Professional Painting was hired to refresh the home and address the visible exterior concerns before prospective buyers arrived.

During preparation, the crew found that an entire side of the Hardie board siding needed to be re-nailed. Repairing those boards before painting dramatically improved the appearance of the left elevation and gave the finished exterior a straighter, more polished look.

The homeowners were extremely pleased with the team's professionalism, quality work, and ability to solve the siding problem instead of simply painting over it.

The Difference Was in the Preparation

Hardie Board Repair Before Exterior Painting

A durable, attractive finish begins with correcting the surfaces beneath the paint. On this project, re-securing the siding was one of the most important steps.

A Full Side of Siding Re-Nailed

The crew discovered loose Hardie board across a full side of the home. Rather than coating an uneven surface, they re-nailed the boards so the siding sat properly and the final elevation looked clean.

The exterior was also pressure washed, scraped, sanded, primed, and caulked. Additional wood repairs were completed where needed, while windows, fixtures, and landscaping were carefully masked and protected.

This detailed preparation gave the new coating a stronger foundation and made a visible difference in the final appearance.

Paint & Color Details

Sherwin-Williams Anonymous & Worldly Gray

The selected palette refreshed the home's exterior while retaining a sophisticated, market-friendly appearance.

Siding Color

Sherwin-Williams Anonymous SW 7046 in a low-lustre sheen was used on the siding for a refined finish with subtle depth.

Trim Color

Sherwin-Williams Worldly Gray SW 7043 in a satin sheen was selected for the trim, fascia, and soffit details.

Market-Ready Result

The coordinated neutral palette restored the home's curb appeal without feeling overly trendy or limiting for future buyers.
