Exterior paint in Springfield
Springfield's McKnight neighborhood is a paint job with a lot of edges. Its National Register nomination describes houses built mostly between 1880 and 1900, with Queen Anne the main style: towers, bay windows, multiple gables, broad front porches, and clapboards mixed with decoratively cut wood shingles. Through the middle of the 1900s some got synthetic siding. Starting in the 1970s, many owners pulled it off, and the nomination counts new and more vibrant paint schemes among the preservation work.
A house like that is mostly trim. Every gable, bracket and porch spindle takes time, and a scheme with three or four colors means the crew cuts in each one separately. McKnight isn't an outlier for age, either; across Springfield, four homes in five came before 1980.
If you're thinking about the McKnight look, the body color is the easy part. The time goes into the trim colors, so a two-color scheme and a four-color scheme on the same house can land far apart. And bare wood that has been hiding under old siding for decades needs primer before any of those colors go on.
