A Recent Victorian Transformation

One of our favorite projects involved a stunning Victorian home, a residence rich in architectural detail and character. This home required a precise, multi-color scheme to accentuate its classic features, including dentil moldings, decorative shingles, and beadboard ceilings, we achieved a harmonious, eye-catching exterior that truly brought the home back to life.

Detailed Prep Work: Our process included intensive scraping, sanding, and surface repairs, essential steps for a smooth, durable application. For this Victorian home, our team also performed carpentry repairs on aged wood to ensure the surface was ready for paint.
Multi-Layered Color Application: We applied layers of Benjamin Moore’s finest exterior paints, including Brandon Beige for the base, Cloud Cover for trim, and accent shades like Coastal Fog, Stampede, Blue Nova, and Baked Terracotta to highlight the unique architectural elements.
Precision and Care: This project demanded repeated visits to certain areas for detailed touch-ups. Our team’s meticulous attention to detail ensured that each color complemented the home’s design, enhancing its character and curb appeal.

The Larkin Painting Exterior Process

Every exterior painting project requires careful planning, detailed preparation, and skillful execution. Here’s what you can expect from our team:

Inspection and Preparation

We begin by thoroughly inspecting the exterior for any necessary repairs, scraping away old paint, and sanding to create a smooth surface. For homes with intricate architecture, like Victorians, we take extra time to ensure every crevice and detail is well-prepared.

Surface Repairs

Cracks, damaged wood, and other imperfections are repaired to ensure the paint adheres seamlessly and lasts longer. We use premium wood fillers and sealants to create a durable, stable base for the paint.
