About Raised Ranch Home Painting
Raised ranch homes are the most common house style in suburban PA and NJ — built by the millions between 1955 and 1980. They can look dated, but the right paint treatment transforms them dramatically. Many homeowners are shocked how much difference new exterior colors make on a raised ranch.
Professional Tips for Raised Ranch Home Painting
- Two-tone is the move: different color for upper level vs lower brick/stone
- Painting over dated brick (yes, it can be done well) transforms the look
- Updated trim and fascia colors make the biggest visual impact for the cost
- Avoid stark white on aluminum or vinyl siding — yellows quickly outdoors
- A bold front door color is your fastest transformation dollar
