Stunning Exterior Painting Project in Bellevue, WA

Hello Painting rated 5/5 based on 513 reviews.
We completed an impressive exterior painting project in Bellevue, WA. The owners wanted to refresh their home and opted for a dramatic color change to enhance its curb appeal. Our team prepped surfaces, applied two coats of paint, and used an oil-based primer on the wood soffits. The final result showcased a stunning transformation, with the top home painted in Alabaster, the bottom home in SW 7069 Iron Ore, and the trim in SW 6258 Tricorn Black. Our expert team delivered exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring a lasting and eye-catching exterior for the next 15-20 years.

This Bellevue home got a full exterior repaint and a dramatic two-tone color change that reshaped its curb appeal. The owners wanted more than a refresh, so we moved the house to a high-contrast palette: Alabaster on the upper level, SW 7069 Iron Ore on the lower level, and SW 6258 Tricorn Black on the trim.

A change this big only looks right if the work underneath is solid. The crew prepped the surfaces, sealed the wood soffits with an oil-based primer, then applied two full coats of paint for even, rich color across both tones. You can see how each step fits together on our exterior painting process page. The result is a sharp, modern exterior.

TWO-TONE TIPS

Two-Tone Exterior Painting FAQs

Which color should go on top in a two-tone exterior?

plus icon
The lighter color usually goes on top and the darker one below. A darker base visually anchors the house, and a lighter upper level keeps it from feeling heavy. This home follows that approach, with Alabaster above and Iron Ore below.

Where should the color split go on a two-tone house?

plus icon
The split looks most natural along an existing horizontal line, such as the break between stories or a change in siding. On this home, the colors divide between the upper and lower levels, so the change looks intentional rather than arbitrary.

What colors pair well with SW 7069 Iron Ore?

plus icon
Iron Ore is a deep charcoal, so it works well with a soft white like Alabaster for high contrast and a true black like SW 6258 Tricorn Black for sharp trim lines. Together, the three colors create a crisp, modern palette with clear separation between each element.

Why use an oil-based primer on wood soffits?

plus icon
Oil-based primer soaks into bare or weathered wood and seals it, which helps the topcoat bond and blocks stains from bleeding through. Soffits are often exposed wood, so priming them this way gives the new paint a stable base.

Why do two coats matter for a dramatic color change?

plus icon
One coat rarely hides an old color completely, especially when the new color is much lighter or darker. A second coat evens out the color, builds a thicker protective layer, and keeps patches of the previous shade from showing through.
