House Exterior Repaint in Chicago, IL

There’s nothing quite like a bold exterior transformation to breathe new life into a home. Whether you’re restoring a historic property or simply updating a tired facade, the right paint job can completely redefine a house’s character and curb appeal. At CertaPro Painters®, we’ve seen firsthand how a thoughtful color change and clean detailing can turn a faded exterior into a standout presence on the block. In this blog, we’re showcasing one of our favorite before-and-after transformations—an example of how professional painting can make a home look entirely new without altering its original structure.

BEFORE & AFTER

🏠 Left Side (Before):

  • The house is painted in a light bluish-gray with pale green trim, giving it a somewhat dated, faded appearance.
  • The lighter palette blends the trim into the siding, reducing architectural contrast.
  • There’s minor wear and tear visible—especially around the porch and lower trim areas.
  • The design feels a bit washed out and doesn’t emphasize the home’s strong Craftsman/Foursquare architecture.

🏠 Right Side (After):

  • The house has been repainted with a rich navy or slate blue siding and crisp white trim, which creates sharp contrast and dramatically elevates the curb appeal.
  • The darker color emphasizes the depth and lines of the wood siding and architectural angles.
  • The white trim cleanly defines the porch, windows, and roofline, making the structure appear more modern and elegant without losing its historic charm.
  • Light reflects off the upper trim and soffits, giving the home a well-lit, intentional aesthetic.

Overall Impression:

This is a textbook example of how strategic exterior painting can update and preserve a historic home while emphasizing its best architectural features. The shift from muted to bold contrast gives the home more presence and sophistication. It likely increased both aesthetic value and real estate value.
