Refreshing a Weathered Exterior with Premium Protection in Richmond

For this full exterior repaint in Powhatan, just outside Richmond, the homeowner wanted more than just a color change—they needed protection. After 15 years without repainting, the home’s Hardie siding showed signs of chalkiness, and trim boards were beginning to rot. Our team was brought in to repair, refresh, and completely revitalize the home’s exterior.

Rot Repair and Rain-Resistant Technology

We started by replacing all damaged trim and addressing areas with visible wood rot. Then we coated the home with Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh, a premium self-cleaning paint that helps the home stay looking fresh—even after storms.

Modern Colors for a Clean, Updated Look

  • Main Exterior: SW 7038 Tony Taupe
  • Shutters: SW 7040 Smokehouse
  • Doors & Accents: SW 6496 Oceanside

The updated palette gave the home a sophisticated, modern look that now stands out in the neighborhood while also enhancing durability.
