Gulf South home with a custom matched exterior color

Exterior Color Consultation in the Gulf South | Paint + Protection.

Pick a color for 25 years, not 5. Protect Your Home. Shield Your Family.

When paint fades in five years, a color mistake is temporary. When your finish is warrantied for 25, the choice deserves real thought. A good exterior color scheme balances what you love, what your home's architecture and neighborhood call for, and what Gulf sun will do to it, because down here the sun always gets a vote.

The problem

Most exterior colors are chosen off a two-inch chip.

A chip in a store looks nothing like a whole house in Louisiana sun. Colors read lighter and cooler at wall scale, south elevations bleach harder than north ones, and some shades that look rich on the card turn harsh across 3,000 square feet of siding. On vinyl, going darker is not even just an aesthetic call: dark colors absorb heat that can warp the panels under ordinary paint.

The color consultation treats the choice with the respect a 25 year decision deserves. We work at house scale, not chip scale: your architecture, roof, brick and trim that are not changing, the light your lot actually gets, and the block you sit on. The coating is then custom tinted, with UV-stable pigments and automotive grade titanium dioxide, so the color you choose is the color your home keeps.

Your family loves coming home

You will look at this choice every day for decades. The consultation makes sure that stays a pleasure, not a compromise you settled into.

Your equity is protected

Exterior color is the single biggest curb appeal lever a home has. The right palette, held UV-stable for 25 years, works on every appraisal and every buyer.

How the diagnosis works

I don't give estimates. I give diagnoses.

Kevin Mmahat, Exterior Home Protection Consultant

Color is part of every Home Protection Consultation, and I treat it as seriously as the substrate work. We look at your home's fixed elements, your exposure, and what your siding type can safely carry, then land a palette you will still be glad about in year twenty. If a color risks your substrate, I say so before anything goes on the wall.

Color Questions

Your questions, answered.

The questions homeowners ask before they book.

Depends on the substrate. On vinyl, dark shades under ordinary paint absorb heat that can warp panels, and the ceramic system's reflective microspheres change that equation. What your home can carry is answered specifically, during the consultation.

Horizon. A paint color has a five year consequence. A coating color has a twenty-five year one, so the choice is made at house scale against your fixed elements, not off a chip.

The coating holds color through Gulf UV with reflective ceramic microspheres and automotive grade titanium dioxide, backed by the 25 year transferable manufacturer's warranty.

Yes, the coating is custom tinted. Match what you have, or use the moment to correct what the last painter talked you into.

Yes. Body, trim, and accent get chosen together against your roof and masonry, because exteriors read as a palette, never one color at a time.
