Project Spotlight: Modern Makeover for the Clarke Family in Nampa, Idaho

Last Updated: January 1, 2024

At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we love seeing a home truly come to life with the right color transformation. The Clarke family, based in Nampa, Idaho, was ready for a bold new look on their home exterior, moving away from their outdated bright yellow to a sleek and modern color scheme. They wanted a striking new palette that could stand out while also harmonizing with their surroundings, so we helped them pick a combination of Naval Blue for the main body and black trim accents—a sophisticated look that instantly boosted their curb appeal.


Here’s What We Did:


  • Color Selection and Planning: We worked closely with the Clarkes to choose colors that would create a big impact. Naval Blue provided the deep, modern tone they wanted, while black trim added just the right touch of elegance.
  • Detailed Prep Work: For a color change as dramatic as this, we applied additional primer to ensure full, lasting coverage. This step was essential to bring out the richness of the Naval Blue.
  • Exterior Painting: With the home fully primed, we got to work with the new colors. Our team painted the entire exterior, paying close attention to detail to get crisp, clean lines on the black trim against the bold blue.
  • Quality Checks: After painting, we reviewed the work with the family to make sure every detail was exactly as they envisioned.


Project Impact


The transformation couldn’t have turned out better! The Clarke family was thrilled, and their home now has a fresh, modern look that stands out in the best way. Plus, they left us a wonderful review that reflects the care we bring to each project: “They went above and beyond my expectations in every way… We went from yellow to navy, and it looks and feels like a brand-new house.”


Thank you, Clarke family, for letting us be part of your home’s journey! We’re proud to serve Nampa, Boise, Meridian, and the surrounding Boise Metro area with residential exterior painting services that bring out the best in every home.
