What Will Be Covered:

Paint colors are what can make or break the value of your home. As a homeowner, having a trendy house color that is lovely to look at help to increase the value of your home, which can, in turn, make you more money if you’re deciding to sell your home. It can also make your neighbors feel jealous of you and therefore they will paint their house as well!

You want your home to have a warm and welcoming feeling, which is why we put together 9 colors, interior and exterior, that will help you sell your home at a higher price:

Amazing Gray with Extra White

A mixture of a few similar colors is a great choice if you’re wanting some variety displayed in your home. Amazing Gray from Sherwin Williams coupled with Extra White trim with a few front entry decorations is surely going to impress new homeowners who are looking to buy your house.

“Amazing Gray is a timeless neutral that that is not too warm or too cool. It has more body and dimension than a builder beige and plays well off of other colors.” –MA Allen

Classic Tan with White Trim

Tan is a classic color to be used on the exterior of your home and is a great color to help sell your home. Tan goes great when a lighter tan color is combined with a darker hue of tan. The extra white on the fascia and posts give the house more of a realistic feeling. Color used on this house is Stone Lion from Sherwin Williams.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."

Everything was completed with Hardie products. The house was painted to my desires and I can honestly say I am more than happy. He paid great attention to the details and ensured the work was of the highest quality. The next time I need work done, I will be contacting Mr. Happy House."

The crew was thorough in planning, removing old shingles, hammering new ones, examining the roof for trouble spots and attending to them on-the-spot, and cleaning up as the work completed. Mike Monyak and his entire team are professional, attentive, fair, competent and courteous; they did exceptionally well what they contracted to do. I trusted my roof upgrade with Mr. Happy House and will confidently use this company as the need arises in the future."

"I called Mike to help fix a leak in my ceiling. He diagnosed the problem and also quoted replacing the remaining aging wood we had on our house, as well as replace the chimney top. His quote was fair so we decided to knock it all out. His team is professional and finished the job quickly. He also fixed my fence gate and power washed my driveway, patio and sidewalk along with the house. I plan to use him in the future for other projects."
