A Plain Front That Looks Older Than It Is
Curb appeal painting in Avon changes how a house reads from the street without changing the house itself.
Many Avon ranches have long, flat fronts. When the siding fades and there's nothing framing the windows, the house can look plain and older than it is.
What people usually ask us for:
- a body color that looks current without being trendy
- shutters and trim that give the front some depth
- a finish that holds up to Ohio weather
How We Repaint a Ranch Exterior
Step 1: Wash, prep and caulk
Siding and trim are washed and prepped, and gaps are caulked so water stays out.
Step 2: Choose the scheme
A balanced greige body, white trim and black shutters is a reliable combination for Avon ranches. We test colors on the house before committing.
Step 3: Two coats, the right product
Siding, trim and the garage door get two coats of a durable exterior paint, all the way down to the foundation line.
Curb Appeal Painting in Avon: What to Expect
A front with depth and contrast that looks current, without changing the house itself.
The colors on this Avon ranch
On the Avon ranch in these photos, the body is Sherwin-Williams Perfect Greige (SW 6073) and the shutters are Black Magic (SW 6991), with white trim and a white garage door. The siding and trim got Sherwin-Williams Resilience in a flat finish, an exterior paint built to resist early moisture, which helps in Ohio’s quick-changing weather.
Greige works on Avon ranches because it sits between gray and beige. It looks current next to newer homes, but it doesn’t fight with the brown roofs, brick and landscaping found on many older streets. The black shutters do the rest, giving a long, flat front some rhythm.
