Summer Home Refresh: Transform Your Fredericton Home with the Power of Paint

Summer in New Brunswick is the season for fresh air, long evenings, and making your home shine. Whether you’re welcoming guests for backyard barbecues or simply want to enjoy your space more, a summer home refresh is the perfect opportunity to update both the inside and outside of your home—and nothing transforms a space faster than a fresh coat of paint.

At CertaPro Painters® of Fredericton, NB, we’re proud to help homeowners across the region boost their home’s style, value, and comfort. Below, we’re sharing seasonal painting tips to help you make the most of summer and elevate your living environment.

1. Refresh Your Exterior for Maximum Curb Appeal

Fredericton’s winters can be tough on your home’s exterior, leading to faded, chipped, or weather-worn surfaces. Summer is the best time to restore your home’s exterior with a professional paint job that not only looks great but also protects your home from the elements.

Popular 2025 Exterior Colour Trends:

• Warm greys with crisp white trim
• Navy blue with natural wood accents
• Sage green for a connection to nature
• Clean white for a classic East Coast look

Pro Tip: Painting your front door in a bold colour like charcoal, forest green, or brick red adds a welcoming focal point and makes a memorable impression.

2. Update Interior Spaces with Light, Airy Colours

Summer is all about light and brightness—and your walls can reflect that seasonal energy. Whether you’re updating your living room, hallway, or kitchen, consider switching to lighter tones to make your interior feel fresh and open.

Recommended Summer Shades:

• Soft beige and warm white for timeless elegance
• Coastal blues and seafoam green for a breezy vibe
• Muted blush or peach tones for a soft touch of colour
• Light greys that work year-round with changing décor

3. Make the Most of Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living is a big part of summer in Fredericton, and your deck, fence, or patio should be just as welcoming as your interior. Repainting or staining these areas enhances their look and adds a layer of protection from sun, rain, and daily wear.

What to Refresh Outdoors:

• Deck and railing repaint or stain
• Fence touch-ups or colour changes
• Painted exterior trim, pillars, and porch ceilings
• Outdoor furniture and garden structures

4. Professional-Grade Prep and Paint Makes the Difference

While summer weather is ideal for painting, successful results still rely on proper preparation, application, and finishing. Our team at CertaPro Painters® of Fredericton, NB provides:

• Thorough surface prep, including scraping, sanding, and washing
• High-quality paints that resist fading and mildew
