Fence Painting: Colours to Improve Your Curb Appeal in British Columbia

Posted on April 19, 2023

Good fences make good neighbors, especially when they are painted to enhance curb appeal. Don’t let your wooden, metal or pvc fence fall into disrepair. Add colour and give your Surrey, White Rock, Langley or North Delta home a new look by painting the fence. Here are 4 fence paint colours to refresh your curb appeal. 

Before you start grabbing colours, look at your current exterior colours and other elements in your yard. If your property is fairly colourful, with several colours on your home and additional flora around it, your fence colour should remain neutral. For properties that are more neutral, use a fence colour to allow it to pop. Here are some successful colours to get you started.

White

Fences are by and large white. It’s a classic fence colour for a reason. For traditional style homes and fences, a pristine white is great. It works with any colour palette. With that, it can take a good amount of upkeep. White is often stained or dirty and needs more maintenance than some other colours. Still, it’s a great look against gardens and trees.

Black

While black fences sound intense, the colour reads neutral to eyes. If your home is more modern metal or your property leans more trendy, black is a great option. Black fences are a way to set your property apart while letting the colours on your home and yard to stand apart.

Blue

Blue fences are cropping up on properties all over for very forward thinking homeowners. The colour is great for a home that is neutral with a more plain landscape. Soft blues, like gray, white or beige, need contrast to avoid blending in. Using a blue fence will do just the trick. Professional painters have seen an uptick in fences in every blue, ranging from pale to royal and everything in between.

Wood Stain

Another unfussy look is to go with a natural colour on wood. Using a stain, rather than paint, allows wood grain to show through while protecting the fencing so it will last longer. Stains come in many colours from barely there to nearly black. This works really well for rustic fences that still need protection from the elements.
