Durable Exterior Residential Painting


At A Touch of Color, we can handle outdoor updates, remodels, and renovations, guaranteeing lasting protection. Hiring us as your painters can also reduce the unwelcome costs of constant home maintenance.

Durability is the only way to combat the high humidity and temperature swings common in Wake County. By using moisture-resistant coatings and rigorous application standards, we reduce how often you need to restore your home’s finish. This proactive approach preserves the wood surfaces, siding, and trim. Proper surface protection lowers long-term homeownership costs with a small upfront investment. Repainting or repairing your house less often also saves money on upkeep and eases the strain on your wallet.

As you can imagine, we have served several homeowners over the years. So, helping your house painting ideas come to life is easy for us. As in previous projects, we are dedicated to helping you set and reach realistic goals. We help inspire you and personalize our approach based on your performance expectations and design choices. Outdoor house revitalizations aren’t just another dreary maintenance task. It’s the first impression everyone gets to see. And when we are done, we will create something that everyone in the neighborhood will love. Just allow us to leave a sign out front. Your neighbors will want us to paint their homes, too!

Meticulous Preparation for Lasting Results

Our commitment to premium service is unwavering, and we use top-quality paint. We also follow strict preparation and restoration steps and uphold effective processes and standards for every project. We leave you with a high-performance surface that is versatile and durable for lasting protection. We meticulously carry out each step with attention to detail. A specific sequence to ensure paint adhesion and prevent premature peeling:

  • Pressure Washing
  • Wood Rot & Replacements
  • Scraping Off Loose Paint
  • Sanding
  • Priming Raw Wood
  • Caulking and Sealing Cracks
  • Filling Nail Holes
  • Applying Thick Coats of Paint

We don’t provide outdoor touch-ups. But we can coat entire areas. Substrates include siding, wood, cement, vinyl, and all trim from doors, windows, and mailboxes. Our flexible options let you control outside painting costs. You can have us address all the trim or choose just the walls. 

We don’t make application or product recommendations you don’t need. We use premium materials from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams for added protection. Choose from hand-brushed, sprayed, and rolled finishes. All applications come with a warranty and are guaranteed to last. Our coating services include decks and home staining, fences, epoxy floors, and masonry protection and sealing. Every home or business in the Triangle receives professional service every time.

Our team specializes in residential transformations throughout the Triangle. We can typically start your project within 3 to 4 weeks, with most larger residential property updates completed in a week or less.

Detailed Interior Painting Like No Other


All of our interior applications deliver cleanliness and attention to detail. We also cover and protect everything. Conducting the work in a way that prevents disruption is an essential part of how we approach occupied spaces. You will appreciate that our Raleigh Painters do not take over your entire home.

Your crew completes all ceiling, wall, and trim preparation and restoration work. Then the real transformation begins. Our finished work showcases straight edges that only a professional painter with a steady hand can achieve. Doing it yourself or hiring inexperienced workers can lead to unsightly imperfections. Low-quality service devalues your home and costs more to fix.

Our meticulous approach ensures comprehensive, detailed painting. Effortlessly transform your bedroom, kitchen, and living spaces. We free up your time and turn your living spaces into beautiful masterpieces. Enjoy your next hassle-free transformation with us! You don’t have to move furniture or buy materials. We take care of all of it for you.

We are a locally owned and operated painter and general contractor. Updating your home is seamless. We take the right steps to deliver quality results. We provide free quotes in Raleigh, North Carolina, and surrounding areas within the Triangle. Give us a call today!
