Buy Show Video

This episode is all about paint. We'll be using colors from the new Bob Vila's Signature Collection line to paint the front façade of our center entry colonial. Ron Hudas and Peggy Van Allen are on site to discuss the color chemistry and historic color choices for our project, and painter John Fish and Bob give some tips on getting the job done right . Also, Bob shows us a new paint design tool online at Bobvila.com that allows the user to experiment with different paint color combinations before making a purchase. On the back of the house, framing contractor Kevin Parquette and crew are working on a railing and stairs for the deck off the sunroom.
