Hello everyone,
we are currently considering how we want/could design the exterior appearance of our house. It starts with a new coat of paint and some minor repairs to the facade and gutter. Then we thought about removing the rough plaster completely and giving the house a smoother (more modern) render. Of course, that changes the cost significantly. The wood in the entrance area and under the roof overhang also needs painting. The question here is whether to keep the natural wood tone or switch to white. Of course, that is all a matter of personal taste...
The appearance of our terrace railing is also a matter of taste. We might have chosen a more subtle design if we had bought it... 😎 It is an aluminum substructure that is basically indestructible. We are still thinking about whether to replace the railing at some point. That’s why everything should look more “harmonious” in the end, if you know what I mean 🙂
When someone from the painting company came to inspect, their first words were definitely to keep the plaster as it is, since you probably won’t find anything easier to maintain, and you can also do a lot with the paint.
Here are photos with the old wooden windows:
The front door will be replaced in a few weeks. The new door is white and features three square glass elements:
Ideas... suggestions... opinions... are welcome 😀

Fortunately, nowadays you can also paint plastics – I’m thinking of the new front door ... *duck and run* :p
...Sure 🙂 The aluminum door, like the aluminum railing, is powder-coated and can be changed if needed. Since it is white for now, the porch roof (Hilz) could possibly be light gray. We recently saw a house that could look like ours (!). Similar door and railing above the bay window in white with light gray accents.ypg schrieb:

Is the shed going to be red?Not completely 😉
I just came across a house that is probably from the same period. It also has simple white windows, which are set off against the plaster with gray trim. The base of the house is treated the same way. It looks coherent and doesn’t take away from the house’s original character. The trim would, of course, need to be finished with a smooth plaster.
If you choose to do it this way, you should definitely use a warm gray (with green and brown undertones). Use a color chart and, if necessary, create two or three samples.

Just the scaffolding and cleaning of the facade will cost around €2,500. The other work included is:
- Applying reinforcing render
- Applying topcoat render
- Priming and painting the base area
- Painting the canopy (which could of course also be done yourself)
- Corner protection on all doors and windows as well as external corners
- Installing APU strips
- Cleaning and painting the roof overhang
- Installing a finishing profile for the base area
- Priming and painting the balcony railing
- Window trim (still considering this ...)
- Various smaller tasks
All together for just under €22,000.

If you do it that way, you should definitely choose a warm gray (with green and brown undertones). Use a color fan deck and, if necessary, test two or three samples.
