Color Consultation by Dunwoody Painters
Residential
Service /14

In-home palette, sheen, and sample guidance seen in your own light before anyone paints.

Color reads differently in every house. Our consultation happens on site, with large sample boards viewed against your flooring, cabinetry, and natural light at different times of day.

You leave with a documented whole-home palette: wall, trim, ceiling, and accent colors plus the right sheen for each surface. It stays consistent as you phase work over time.

If an interior designer has already chosen your colors, we are just as happy carrying out their palette. Either way, every color is tested on your own walls before a crew opens a can.

OUR PROCESS
/01

On-site assessment

We walk the home with you, measure, note problem areas, and confirm the finish you want.

/02

Written proposal

You get a detailed, line-item estimate with products, prep scope, and a firm schedule. No surprises.

/03

Protect & prepare

Surfaces are masked and covered, then cleaned, scraped, sanded, patched, and primed so the coating bonds properly.

/04

Apply & inspect

Premium coatings go on in full coats, then we walk the finished work with you and correct anything before we call it done.

What's Included

What the consultation covers

One visit, one set of samples, and one written palette for the whole house.

  • Styled living room with light gray walls, a black sofa, and a potted plant

    On site, in your light

    We pick colors in the rooms they will live in, not under a store's fluorescent tubes.

  • Homeowners holding a paint sample card against the wall

    Large-format samples

    Sample boards big enough to judge, viewed in the room at different times of day.

  • Brush laying a crisp paint line along interior trim

    Sheen per surface

    Flat ceilings, washable walls, and hard enamel on trim, chosen room by room.

  • Hands arranging neutral paint swatches on a table

    Against your fixed finishes

    Samples viewed beside your flooring and cabinetry, the things that are not changing.

  • Painter spraying white paint onto a brick wall

    Brick and stone undertones

    Whether you paint the brick or work around it, samples go right up against it.

  • Paint sample cards laid out on a workbench

    Written whole-home palette

    Every wall, trim, ceiling, and accent code with its sheen, so later phases match.

  • Ready to put it on the walls?

    Your palette carries straight into interior painting, exterior painting, or cabinet refinishing. Tell us the scope and the same crew will quote it.

Color & Finish

Six colors that show the range

A crisp white, a warm white, two grays that behave differently, a soft green, and one deep accent. Each one earns its place in a different kind of room.

Atlanta light is warm, bright, and filtered through a lot of trees. That filter can push a showroom gray toward green and a cream toward yellow. North rooms do the opposite and cool everything down. So we never choose from a chip. We paint large boards and watch them in your rooms from morning to lamp light.

The fixed finishes decide more than the paint does. Floors, countertops, cabinets, brick, and the roof all have undertones that stay put. We pull the palette from those first, then save the one deep color for an island, a study, or the front door.

When a consultation pays for itself

Some rooms forgive a guess. These are the situations where a wrong pick shows up everywhere, and where an hour of sampling saves a repaint.

  • An open floor plan

    One wall color runs through the kitchen, living room, and stairs, so a miss is visible from every seat in the house.

  • North-facing rooms

    Cool, even light shows every undertone. A gray that looks warm on the chip can read blue on the wall.

  • Selling in the next few years

    Buyers respond to calm, warm neutrals that photograph well. The right one helps a listing more than any single upgrade.

  • Red or orange brick

    A neutral beside brick can turn pink, green, or yellow. The undertone has to be chosen against the brick itself.

  • Finishes you are keeping

    Oak floors, granite counters, and a roof are not changing. The paint has to work with them, not fight them.

The consultation is free with every painting project. Look at the samples in morning, afternoon, and evening light before you decide. Book it before the crew is scheduled, not the week of. Call (678) 737-6776 to set up a visit.
