Placeholder ImageRethinking Your Home’s Color Scheme Before Selling It We’ll be going over different paint colors that could be helpful for selling your house.

Painting a house is a great way to make it look more appealing before selling it. But this process can’t be done carelessly. You have to put a great deal of thought into the paint you choose. This isn’t the same as painting a house just to give your house a new look. There are many ways you can paint your house to make selling it easier. We’ll be going over different paint colors that could be helpful for selling your house.

Good Paint Colors for Walls

The walls are your largest surfaces in all of your rooms. It’s best to go with neutral colors, typically lighter tones. Colors such as white and gray are great recommendations. You could also add a semi-gloss finish because it’s cheaper than going with a high-gloss paint, and it helps conceal imperfections better. High-gloss will last longer than flat finishes, but remember, the primary goal is to sell the house. It won’t have to last forever. As long as it lasts for a few months, you should be good to go. Besides, the one who buys your house might want to repaint the house anyway.

Good Paint Colors for Ceilings

White is a staple color for ceilings. It’s a cheap color. It can conceal imperfections to make everything look cleaner. It can even make the room feel taller in general. You might even want to paint your ceiling even if it already looks fine as it is. Painting the walls without painting the ceiling isn’t recommended because they will contrast with one another and give off a less glamorous look.

Preferred Trim Colors

With regards to interior trim, a semi-gloss white coloring is a pretty universal option for most homes. Glossy sheens will stand out more against the backdrop of your wall, making your room look more appealing without trying too hard, which could otherwise make you seem desperate to sell.

With that said, you don’t have to use semi-gloss white. There are some scenarios when it would be fine to take a different approach. For example, if you have a completely white room, you could benefit from a gray trim, which offers more contrast.

You could add a little extra touch of color when your trim has either routed edges or some detailed carvings. If you’re still unsure of what you should do, you could always consult a professional painting company and get their input.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
