Get a Free Color Consultation in Northern Arizona

Choosing paint colors is the fun part of a painting project, right up until you’re staring at a fan deck with dozens of shades of white. CertaPro Painters® of Northern Arizona takes the guesswork out of it with a free color consultation for every homeowner who books an estimate, so you can pick colors with confidence before a single wall gets painted.

Here’s what the consultation includes, why color choices behave differently in Northern Arizona, and a few tips to get you started.

What’s Included in Your Free Color Consultation

Our color consultation comes at no extra cost. During your visit, a CertaPro Painters of Northern Arizona consultant will:

• Help you choose colors that work with what you already own. We look at your furniture, flooring, countertops, and fixtures, so your new colors fit the room instead of fighting it.
• Bring design and product know-how. You get suggestions you might not have considered, from someone who works with color every day.
• Walk you through paint finishes. Flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss each have pros and cons. We’ll recommend the right sheen for each room.
• Match colors you already have. Love a color but lost the code? We can match just about any existing color from a paint chip or wet sample.

Why Color Is Tricky in Northern Arizona Homes

High-country light and weather change how paint looks and how long it lasts. A few things we factor in for Northern Arizona homeowners:

• Intense high-elevation sun. Strong UV fades exterior color quickly, especially on south- and west-facing walls. Some colors hold up to that better than others, and we’ll steer you toward choices that stay looking fresh.
• The landscape around you. Pine forest, red rock, and high desert each cast a different light. Earth tones that look perfect in one setting can feel flat in another.
• Four real seasons. Summer heat, monsoon rain, and winter snow are hard on exterior finishes, so color and product choices go hand in hand.
• Neighborhood guidelines. If you live in an HOA community, check its exterior color rules before you fall for a shade. We’re happy to help you find options that fit within them.

Interior Color Tips

• Start with how you want the room to feel. Warm tones feel welcoming. Cool tones feel calm and relaxing.
• Test in your own light. Look at samples in the morning, afternoon, and evening before you decide. Bright Arizona sun can make colors look very different at noon than they do at dinner.
• Pick a whole-house neutral. Running one neutral through hallways and open spaces ties the home together and lets accent colors in other rooms stand out.
• Think about what’s trending, then what you’ll love in five years. Your consultant can help you balance the two for your interior painting project.

Exterior Color Tips

Planning exterior painting? Your exterior colors are a bigger commitment, since the whole street sees them.

• Drive your neighborhood. Take note of homes with color schemes you like, especially ones with a similar style to yours.
• Plan for trim and accents. Fascia, shutters, garage doors, and the front door are where contrast adds curb appeal.
• Consider your stucco and siding. Different surfaces take color differently. Ask about stucco painting during your consultation.

Color Help for Cabinets and Decks Too

Your consultation isn’t limited to walls. Our team can help you choose colors for cabinet painting, deck and fence staining, and more. Browse our project portfolio for inspiration from homes around the area.
