Can you give me advice on painting my home exterior?
Should I leave the fascia light beige paint or paint it the same color as the garage (Mock-up included). If paint the same color as garage, can I get away with just painting the fascia or should I also paint the soffit?

I like the colors just as they are in this picture- it picks up the light and dark colors of your brick
Yeah I agree with Cheryl. I like the fascia and soffit lighter. It is more classic, brings your eye up and somehow makes the house look taller.
I like how the lighter colors draw the eye up your house. I think I'd leave it as is.
Lighter gets my vote. It's a good compliment and I think if you change it, it will make your house look smaller.
I like it lighter. It does make the house look larger and taller.
I , also like it lighter !
I , too , like it lighter.
Another vote for lighter!
Hi Eric! I agree with everyone else and would stick with the lighter color. The contrast makes your home "POP" and is very complimentary to the rest of your home. Good luck😊
Another vote for a lighter shade on the trim.
I like the light beige.
I would leave it the way it is. It looks great....
Hi Eric. What a lovely house you have. I would not change a thing. I can imagine a big beautiful Christmas tree standing in your very large window.
I like the trim as is but I would lighten the garage door. Way to heavy of color.
Love love, love the lighter shade
The contrast of the dark and light make a statement about the house, it has the curb appeal as is.
Love this. Beautiful house!
I don’t think you need any changes. Pretty house!
leave it beige Love your house
Hello there,
Well, as the door and the garage are dark and the bricks are light, I would paint them dark to match garage . Would give more presence and be easier to maintain as should not need to be painted to refresh as often.
Hi Eric, it looks beautiful as it is, and why would you want to add more work for yourself? Once you paint, you have to continue painting. I like that the fascia matches the lighter colored bricks.
Lighter, the way it is now, is best. It makes the home seem open and friendly and the dark makes it look smaller and foreboding. Beautiful home as is! :)
Paint the garage door.
I decided to paint it to match the trim. However, I still think it lacks curb appeal. What else can i do?
