Painting your front door for a fresh look and style has become quite the trend. Throughout Mifflin County, you can find an abundance of stunning front doors sporting anything from rich wood stains to bold paint colors. But there is one other exterior area that you can paint to have the same impact on the overall look of your home – your shutters!

Shutters are often overlooked when it comes to exterior painting, but when you pair a stylish front door and a fresh coat of paint on your shutters, the transformation can be striking. Just like a purse and some nice shoes can dress up any outfit, shutters are a powerful detail to dress up the exterior of your home!

Over time, shutters will fade and lose not only their color, but also their character. After years of exposure to sun, rain, wind, and snow, it’s no wonder why shutters will eventually need some love. Dingy or drab shutters can make a home look and feel older, even with brand-new or freshly-painted siding. Especially if you are considering selling your house, painting your shutters is a great way breathe new life into your home and massively upgrade your curb appeal.

A fresh coat of paint on your shutters does more than just improve the aesthetics of your home. In fact, a new layer of paint can go a long way in protecting your shutters and help them to last longer. Shutters come in a variety of materials like including MDF (medium-density fiberboard), vinyl, synthetic foam, and wood. Shutters made out of wood are particularly important to maintain to prevent unwanted wear and tear from the elements.

As with any other outdoor exterior wood such as porches, decks, or fences, paint will eventually crack and peel which can become a safety hazard for your family. Our painting experts here at Lewistown Painting can help restore your shutters, and the rest of the exterior wood around your home, and make them look as good as new.

Unlike painting a front door, shutters are not so easy to tackle on your own. While a front door paint job can be an easy project for a Sunday afternoon, painting shutters requires much more preparation and good weather conditions. With an already busy schedule, trying to squeeze in time to paint shutters can easily turn into one of those projects that just drags on and on.
