Durable Residential Exterior Painting Services


A Touch of Color Painting & General Contracting’s outdoor services guarantee lasting protection. Let us explain how hiring our exterior painters can reduce the unwelcome cost of constant repainting.

A Touch of Color focuses on durability to combat the high humidity and temperature swings common in Wake County. By utilizing moisture-resistant coatings and rigorous application standards, the frequency of repainting your home is reduced. This proactive approach preserves the wood, siding, and trim. Adequate surface protection lowers long-term painting costs and homeownership. Having to repaint or repair your house less often also saves money on upkeep and is less of a strain on your wallet.

As you can imagine, we have painted several homes over the years. So, helping your house painting ideas come to life is easy for us. As in previous projects, we are dedicated to helping you set and reach realistic goals. We help inspire and offer personalizations specific to your performance and design choices. Exterior house painting is not just another dreary maintenance necessity. It’s the first impression everyone gets to see. And when we are done, we will create something that everyone in the neighborhood will love. Just allow us to leave a sign out front. Your neighbors will want us to paint their homes, too!

Meticulous Preparation for Lasting Results

Our commitment to quality is unwavering, using top-quality paint. We also follow strict preparation and professional process standards for every project. External touch-ups are not provided, but we do help with all paintable exterior surfaces. Areas include siding, wood, cement, vinyl, and all trim from doors, windows, and mailboxes. Our flexible paint options allow you to control exterior painting costs. You can have us paint all the trim or separate sections. 

The quality and durability that our exterior painting provides guarantee lasting protection. We meticulously carry out each step with attention to detail.

A specific sequence to ensure paint adhesion and prevent premature peeling:

  • Pressure Washing
  • Scraping Off Loose Paint
  • Sanding
  • Priming Raw Wood
  • Caulking and Sealing Cracks
  • Filling Nail Holes
  • Applying Thick Coats of Paint

We are not a contractor that makes application or product recommendations you don’t need. Premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams are used for added protection. Choose from hand-brushed, sprayed, and rolled finishes. All applications come with a warranty and are guaranteed to last. Our coatings include deck and home staining, fences, epoxy floors, and masonry painting and sealing services. Every home or business in the Triangle receives professional service every time.

Detailed Interior Painting Like No Other


All of our interior painting delivers cleanliness and attention to detail. We also cover and protect everything. Conducting the work in a way that prevents disruption is an essential part of how we approach painting occupied spaces. You will appreciate that our Raleigh Painters do not take over your entire home.

All ceilings, walls, and trim preparation and repair work are completed. Then the painting begins. Our finished work showcases straight edges that only a professional painter with a steady hand can achieve. Doing it yourself or hiring inexperienced workers can lead to unsightly imperfections. Low-quality service devalues your home and costs more to fix.

Our meticulous approach guarantees comprehensive and detailed interior painting. Effortlessly transform your bedroom, kitchen, and living spaces. We’re freeing up your time and making your living spaces beautiful masterpieces. Enjoy your next hassle-free transformation with us! You don’t have to move furniture or buy materials. We take care of all of it for you.

We are a locally owned and operated painting and licensed contractor. The process of updating your house is seamless. We ensure appropriate measures to deliver quality results. Free quotes are provided in Raleigh, North Carolina, and surrounding areas within the Triangle. Give us a call today!
