There’s little doubt that a fresh paint color can revive and liven anything, from a small thrift store DIY up-cycle to, well, your entire home.

Garage door painting is a simple way to refresh the look of your home exterior while adding value to your estate, without taking on the project of repainting your entire exterior.

Each year new colors will be trending, and painting every few years can be beneficial in achieving the highest value in your property.

Whether you’re a trendsetter or traditionalist, this post will explore something for everyone’s style.

Add Value To Your Property

Because the exterior is the first impression of a home, the colors have to be coordinated and well-thought-out. No more than 3 total colors should be used.

The tones listed in this post aren’t too bright to detract from the property itself, and aren’t too trendy that they’ll be out of style next year.

Even if your garage door paint still appears to be in good shape (not chipping or peeling), repainting with a fresh coat of color is still beneficial.

Considering your geography and local property trends can be beneficial if you’re trying to achieve the most value out of your property, but Texas homeowners can be confident these colors will attract positive attention, add value and even benefit when trying to sell a property quickly.

Read on to decide which color would look best on your home.
