Craftsman exterior refresh
The project brief
Design intent meets surface reality.
The challenge
A detailed façade needs color separation that supports the architecture rather than making it feel busy. Sun exposure and multiple trim profiles also require a deliberate coating plan.
The approach
How we would plan the work.
A durable, cohesive result starts with the order of operations—not just the final color.
- 01
Evaluate siding, trim, joints, and previously coated surfaces
- 02
Build a body-and-trim scheme around the home’s craftsman details
- 03
Use the front door as a warm natural counterpoint
- 04
Sequence elevations around shade, temperature, and drying conditions

The finish strategy
A palette with a purpose.
The representative scheme uses deep navy to unify the body, clean white to articulate the trim, and natural wood to make the entrance feel welcoming.
