Go Even Bigger With The Exterior Of Your Home

A dedicated fan cave or accent wall might not be enough for everyone. For true diehards, why not go bigger than every fan you know with an exterior painting scheme to let the whole neighborhood know who you’re rooting for?

It’s not too late to give your home’s exterior a makeover with your favorite football team’s colors. The weather is still warm and there’s plenty of time to get a painting project done.

If you’re a Dallas fan, you could paint your house white and use navy blue for the shutters or trim. If you prefer Oakland, use gray for the exterior of your home with black shutters. Love New York? A white house with green shutters shows everyone in the neighborhood who you’re rooting for. Add a team flag to the front of the house, and you’re ready to cheer for a winning season!

Before any paint job, it’s important that the surfaces are prepared correctly and that quality paint is used by true professionals. Some team colors run bold, and you want to make sure your fan cave or the exterior of your home not only looks great but stays looking great for many seasons to come.
