Think “time” in choosing paint
admin • May 28, 2010
We all value time, and that plays a big part when it comes to the choice of paint for your home,whether inside or outside. Think time
before you buy that latest-fad-color-of-the-month. You’re going to be looking at this color for quite a while. You remember many a home you have walked into that has had 1970s-era green or yellow, or a color that pointedly told you of the latest style of that generation. If that’s what you truly want to look at for a number of years, fine. On the other hand,if you want a long-range color that you can work with, plan carefully and think time.

Get your Knoxville home summer-ready with expert exterior painting tips—from prep work and weather timing to picking the right products and pros.
In a place like Knoxville, where the weather practically begs you to be outside for most of the year, your backyard should be more than a patch of grass—it should be part of your home. And nothing brings that idea to life quite like a well-built, well-loved deck . Whether you’re dreaming of a brand-new hangout zone or need to fix up the deck that’s been “on the to-do list” for the last three summers, exterior carpentry projects like decks and porches offer big value—not just for your property, but for your lifestyle. Knoxville Is Built for Outdoor Living Let’s be real: if you’re going to live in East Tennessee, you better have a place to enjoy all that fresh air. With long summers, mild falls, and springtime that shows off big, a solid deck gives you a front-row seat to the best parts of the year. It’s also where we grill, chill, wrangle kids, host birthdays, and maybe sneak a quiet cup of coffee before the chaos starts. In other words, a good deck isn't a luxury—it’s a lifestyle essential. Building a New Deck: More Than Just Curb Appeal Thinking about adding a deck? Here’s what you stand to gain: Instant extra space – It’s like adding a room… without knocking down any walls. Better entertaining – Built-in seating, lighting, and space for a grill or fire pit make your house the hangout spot. Higher resale value – Buyers love a functional outdoor setup, especially in Knoxville’s climate. Customization – Want a covered section? Multi-level zones? Built-in planters? You got options. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to finally get that smoker you’ve been eyeing. (For "family dinners," of course.)
