A 1980s Saxonville split-level going on the market. Existing palette was 1990s peach-beige — buyers would walk in and start mental renovation math. The realtor wanted neutrals on every surface in 5 working days.

The challenge

Color shifts from a warm pink-undertone beige to a cool greige need primer to avoid show-through. Plus 11 rooms across two floors needed to look like one cohesive house, not 11 different paint days.

What we did

  • Gray-tinted primer on every wall surface — kills the existing peach undertone
  • Walls: Edgecomb Gray HC-173, satin (BM Regal Select)
  • Trim, doors, baseboards: Decorator's White semi-gloss (BM Advance)
  • Ceiling: Decorator's White flat (extends the trim color upward)
  • Touch-up on 30+ wall dings the listing photos would've caught

The result

Listed for $585k, sold for $612k after 8 days on market. Realtor credits the paint as the single highest-impact pre-listing improvement on the project.
