Modern Farmhouse Door Painting

This Covington homeowner had completed a stunning modern farmhouse renovation and needed their front door to complement the new shiplap siding, board-and-batten shutters, and carefully curated color palette featuring whites, creams, and natural wood tones.

The existing door was a basic builder-grade fiberglass in standard white that clashed with their sophisticated design vision. After extensive color consultation, we selected the perfect sage green that would provide the subtle pop of color needed while maintaining the farmhouse aesthetic's connection to nature.

The project required specialized techniques to achieve the trendy matte finish that's essential to the modern farmhouse look but challenging to execute properly in Louisiana's humid climate. Surface preparation began with thorough cleaning and light sanding to ensure proper paint adhesion on the fiberglass surface.

The primer selection was crucial - we used a high-performance bonding primer specifically formulated for fiberglass surfaces and designed to work with matte topcoats. Color mixing involved custom blending to achieve the exact sage green tone that would complement the home's neutral palette and new landscaping featuring native Louisiana plants.

The matte finish application required specialized techniques to avoid lap marks and ensure uniform appearance - we used professional spray equipment and multiple thin coats rather than traditional brush application.

The final result provides the perfect farmhouse aesthetic while incorporating advanced paint technology that resists mildew, fading, and Louisiana's challenging weather conditions.
