Lockport Colors Work Different Here
Lockport has historic homes, modern subdivisions, and commercial buildings along State Street. The colors that work here depend on the house style and the light.
Historic home colors
Victorian and craftsman homes near the canal look best in period-appropriate colors. We know the palettes that work on Lockport's older homes.
New subdivision neutrals
Modern homes in subdivisions need colors that work with open floor plans. Greige, warm white and soft blue are popular in Lockport. See house painting for color ideas.
Commercial brand colors
Lockport businesses need colors that represent their brand. We work with corporate palettes and ensure they work on brick, drywall and siding.
Most homeowners pick colors in the store under fluorescent lights. Then they get home and the color looks completely different. We bring the samples to you so you see them in your own light.
