Here’s another Loveland exterior that proves how much a trim color can do. We refreshed this home’s exterior trim in Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black, and the effect is immediate.
That bold, near-black outline creates a modern, high-contrast frame around the home — clean lines, sharp details, a look that makes the house stand out on the street. It’s the kind of confident, contemporary update we’re proud to put our name on, and a perfect example of how the right trim color can modernize a whole exterior.
We carried the same black through to the entry. The front door was already a great black, but the surround and frame had gone worn and peeling, so we sanded the weathered woodwork back, prepped it properly, and repainted the frame and trim to match. The result is one clean, black-on-black statement entry that ties the whole exterior together.
Black trim creates crisp, high-contrast lines that frame a home’s architecture and instantly read as modern and sharp. It draws the eye to the windows, rooflines, and details, and gives even a traditional house a fresh, contemporary edge.
Tricorn Black is a rich, near-true black without heavy undertones, so it stays crisp and clean in outdoor light rather than looking washed out or off-color. It’s a go-to for exterior trim, doors, and accents because it delivers bold contrast that always looks intentional.
For many homes, yes. If the body of the house is in good shape, refreshing just the trim gives a big visual upgrade for a fraction of the cost and time of repainting everything — it’s one of the most impactful exterior updates you can make.
It does. Trim takes direct weather and framing details take extra handling, so we clean, scrape and sand any failing spots, prime bare areas, and caulk gaps before painting. That prep is what keeps the crisp lines looking sharp for years.
