Most folks want to have a nice-looking home. But they stay pretty conservative with color choices. The street appeal of a home can dramatically improve with the choice of a dramatic color for the front door. Only a handful of home styles allow doing some bold colors on the body or trim, like a Victorian home, for instance. What does every home have regardless of its style? A front door. This is everyone’s chance to be bold with a pop of color. The best part of taking a risk on a front door color is that if you get tired of it after a few years, it is easy to change the color again. A front door color not only adds to your curb appeal, but it also allows you to show off your unique style and personality.
Signs that You Need to Paint Your Door
Wood doors really take a beating in the Phoenix area. Summer heat dries out the wood. As the wood dries, the paint or varnish will release, bubble, and peel. As the coating fails, the wood will dry out more and cracks will form. It is now vulnerable to water damage and sun damage. We have all put off projects saying that one more year won’t hurt anything. Sometimes that’s true. But often times it isn’t true. If this situation of your unprotected door isn’t addressed in time, the door may need to be replaced. When you notice the coating begin to fail, that’s the time to take action.
An Opportunity to Be Bold with Color
Different colors say different things and inspire different feelings. Black and red doors are traditional and elegant. They are classic and never go out of style. Blues and greens can be bold colors, but they can also be toned down to subdued shades that speak whimsically to your house guests. There just might be something fun going on in this home. Orange, yellow, purple, and turquoise are definitely on the bold side of the color wheel. They are electric and energetic, like you, perhaps. Don’t be afraid to be bold and make a statement to show off your unique tastes and personality.
If your entryway has deteriorated beyond your comfort zone to fix, MTS Painting can come to your rescue. Our technicians can strip the old coating and, in most cases, restore the wood to a condition that can be refinished or repainted to a like-new appearance.
