Historic District Home
Summerville, South Carolina
April 2006


This home is located in the historic district of Summerville just one block off Main Street. The colors selected by the owner’s are very traditional to the Charleston area: Charleston green shutters and accents on porch area, piazza blue for the porch ceiling, and traditional white for siding and trim. Porch floors were painted medium grey.

Semi gloss latex was used for trim. The siding and ceilings are flat latex. Satin latex was used for the shutters and accents while the porch floors received gloss enamel.

Significant effort was given to preparing the home for painting. Scraping of old paint, sanding, spot priming, and caulking is required to ensure the finish coats would protect and be astatically appealing.
