Columbia : Color that fits the village—and feels like home

I’ve called Howard County home for 16 years, and Columbia still has that perfect blend - green pathways, lakes, pretty neighborhoods, and homes with their own personalities. We paint to honor that: we’ll help by providing fresh interiors you’ll live in every day and exteriors that fit your block beautifully without hassle at approval time.

A quick local snapshot (the real Columbia)

Born in the late ’60s as a planned community, Columbia’s villages: Wilde Lake, Hickory Ridge, Long Reach, Kings Contrivance, Owen Brown, Harper’s Choice, Dorsey’s Search, Oakland Mills, and River Hill keep things cohesive with architectural guidelines, open space, and community amenities. That village DNA is why a color that sings in Wilde Lake might need a tweak in Kings Contrivance, and we know how to thread that needle.

Homes & architecture we know (and how we treat them

• Late-60s/70s contemporaries with cedar/Hardie and big window walls

• Classic two-story traditionals in Harper’s Choice & Long Reach (crown, chair rail, dentil)

• Newer builds around River Hill with modern trim profiles and mixed materials

Working with Columbia’s guidelines (not against them)

Village covenants and ARC expectations are part of life here, we respect and them. We’ll help with palette selection that complements the streetscape, sheen choices that weather well, tidy prep photos, and clean scopes that keep approvals smooth. You get the look you want, and your home still sits right with the block.

What we do here (interior & exterior)

• Interior painting: room-by-room color plans (neutral to curated), ceiling/trim refreshes, stair/rail updates, and cabinet enamels that actually cure hard. Low-VOC by default.

• Exterior painting: cedar & Hardie best practices, thorough caulk/prime/two-coat systems made for Maryland sun and storms; careful wood repair; neat edges that hold up.
