From Faded to Fabulous: 3 NWSP Exterior Transformations That Will Inspire You

There’s nothing we love more than a good before-and-after—and these recent exterior projects prove just how powerful a fresh coat of paint can be.

Whether it’s bringing a tired façade back to life or helping homeowners finally feel proud of their curb appeal, these transformations remind us why we do what we do. Keep scrolling for some real-life inspiration from right here in the Western Treasure Valley.

Project Spotlight: From Dark & Dull to Light & Welcoming (Weiser)

Before: This beautiful home had a lot going for it—great farmhouse, stunning views, and natural wood accents. But the original color scheme was dark and faded, which made the house feel heavier and less inviting.

After: We completely brightened the exterior with a soft greige body color and clean white trim, allowing the warm wood tones on the porch and front door to pop. Now, the home looks fresh, welcoming, and totally elevated.

Homeowner reaction: "It feels like a brand-new home. We get compliments all the time now!"

Classic Cottage Refresh (Nyssa)

Before: This sweet little home had tons of potential, but the faded yellow exterior and aging metal awnings gave it a tired, dated look.

After: A fresh white body color with subtle contrast on the trim immediately modernized the exterior. It now looks brighter, cleaner, and full of charm—like a classic cottage brought back to life.

Clean & Crisp Ranch Transformation (Fruitland)

Before: Mid-project, you can see how faded the original exterior had become. The gray paint was worn down by years of sun exposure, and the home had lost its definition.

After: A brand-new coat of crisp white paint with slightly brighter trim lines sharpened up the entire look. It feels modern, clean, and like a completely revitalized space—perfect for welcoming guests or hitting the market.

Why Color (and Care) Matter

Every one of these transformations had a common thread: the homeowners wanted their homes to look as good on the outside as they feel on the inside. And that starts with choosing the right color palette and giving your home the professional prep and application it deserves.

We don’t just paint—we restore, refresh, and renew with pride.
