Door painting tips

Paint from panels outward: recessed panels first, then stiles (verticals), then rails (horizontals). This prevents lap marks and ensures even coverage.

Front door color trends

Bold front door colors (navy, black, red, deep green) boost curb appeal. A freshly painted front door can increase perceived home value by 1-2%.
