Adding color to your fence isn’t a bad thing. But it should be done extremely carefully!
Whether you are sprucing up your old fence or installing a new one, you may be thinking about giving it some color. Choosing a paint color is never a simple thing to do especially when it calls for a bit of labor and has to look nice for your visitors. So how do you choose the right fence color for your home? Read on to find out!
Fitting in with Your Home
When choosing a color, one of the top things you should consider is how the color will match your home. Try to stick with your style to avoid clashing. Traditional cottage homes or Colonials might look best with a crisp white while a brick home or estate-style homes may look better with a black finished fence.
Rules and Regulations
If you live in a neighborhood or in a place with a homeowner’s association, you may want to check the rules before picking up a few cans of paint. There may be rules and regulations regarding the colors and types of fencing in your area. Some areas may require white, brown, or natural-color wood stains while other may leave it up to the homeowner’s discretion.
Neighbors are Important
The last thing you want to do is end up in court because of a paint color. Talk to your neighbors before deciding to paint your fence and if the fence is shared, offer to paint their side as well. If they do not approve of the fence color, promise to only keep it on your side of the fence.
Blending In
It is important to put your best fence forward when it comes to paint colors. Select a color that will complement your house. While it may seem like a good idea to paint your fence “traffic cone” orange or lime green, it could become an eye sore later on. Choose a color that is neutral and will match your home.
Choosing the right fence color had a lot of to do with how you want your neighbors and visitors to perceives your home. For more information on painting your fence or having your fence installed, call Hercules Fence of Washington, DC today!
