I’d prob go windspray a mid grey to tie in with tin roof. Get your landscaping professional trimmed to smarten up yard. Under the carport what is that set of doors and windows hi ding?

The red colours you have mentioned would clash badly with the brick imo. Charcoal looks best with orange bricks but a mid grey would work too.

Thanks. Would you mind sharing a link of light grey that would work? I am open to repaint the tin roof based on the colour we choose for the main roof.

@Kate: The doors and windows under the carport are of the rumpus (closed garage).

A painted red roof would seriously devalue your home. The best quick and cheap update would be to clean your roof and then paint all paintable servies the same colour - a darkish colour that works with the bricks. For the pavers, I’d give them a good clean and see how they come up - if you have a darkish paving paint will give you a cosmetic improvement but may not last.

@bigreader Apart from paint, what are the other options for the paving? Is there any special material/ paint for paving that can last longer? I see some houses having pavers with special coating on it. I am not sure what's it's called.

Which colour would work with the bricks? Not keen to go for very dark colour. By painting services, do you mean main roof, tin roof and anything else? Thanks.

Ironstone is a great colour, you could do your roof and metal roof the same, doing the trims and railing this would also look great, add some gorgeous planters at your front door, a new outside light could give a quick update. Get advice on how to paint outdoor tiles, there are a lot of options available, check with a reputable paint shop for help with what you need to update your area.

I agree with Ironstone. Remember when you look at samples that a big area like a roof in open daylight looks way lighter than a colour on a small swatch card!

Should be paintable surfaces not services. That was a typo. No I wouldn’t do the roof in the cheap quick makeover you’re after. It takes dollars to do properly and in your situation may not be worth the money. I like ironstone also.

Julie, do you have a source in those pots? Am planning a bit of a garden makeover.

Bigreader they are from crate and barrel, try the balcony garden, west elm, or I love this diy using two pots, you could achieve something similar to CB by using different sizes (large/small) stacked to give the pedestal look. Could use a paint or a stone paint . Much cheaper option, happy gardening, love a makeover ❤️

Thanks Julie, I made need to do a DIY as big pots are surprisingly costly.

Yes they are a bit outrageous in price, I think that diy one is excellent. Pots on line are reasonable at times.

Thx Julie. Going to browse now

Re the paint brand - we recently had our badly faded roof repainted, though it's Colourbond, not tiles. Because of the difficulty of our job we had to wait for a specialist. He refused to use Dulux because he said he couldn't guarantee it as it didn't last long enough. He would only use paint from Industrial Roof Coating. (Of course, he may have been related to the owners!!)
