An entire exterior, three Sherwin-Williams colors, two days. This Andiron exterior repaint gave a single-family home in Arvada, CO a deep, high-contrast finish.

The body was coated in Sherwin-Williams Andiron, a deep, earthy green with warm undertones, offset by Alabaster on the trim and Tricorn Black on the accents. Three colors gave the exterior depth and clean separation between the siding, edges, and details.

This exterior house painting project covered the full exterior in one pass, from prep through the final coat. Two days start to finish kept disruption to a minimum for the homeowner.

Background Story: The homeowner wanted a warmer, more distinctive exterior than the usual neutral, and Andiron delivered it, a deep, earthy green with warm undertones, dark enough to carry an entire body without reading flat. The risk with a color this deep is that it can make a house feel closed in, so the scheme was balanced on purpose.

Alabaster on the trim kept the lines bright and stopped the dark body from taking over. Tricorn Black on the accents added sharp definition at the details, giving the eye clear edges against the deep green.

Prep came first across the full exterior. On the Front Range, strong sun and wide temperature swings are hard on paint, so clean, sound surfaces are what let the finish hold up, and that step set up everything that followed.

Scope of Services:

• Full Exterior Repaint: The entire exterior was repainted in one project, siding, trim, and accents together.
• Body in Andiron: The main siding was coated in Andiron for a deep, earthy green across the body of the home.
• Trim in Alabaster: The trim was painted in Alabaster to keep the edges bright and defined against the dark body.
• Accents in Tricorn Black: The accent details were finished in Tricorn Black for sharp contrast.
• Surface Preparation: Every painted surface was prepped first to give the finish a clean, stable base.

Results: The home now reads as a deep, earthy green exterior with bright Alabaster trim and sharp Tricorn Black accents, three colors working together instead of one flat tone. The contrast keeps the dark body from feeling heavy and gives the whole exterior clean, defined lines. Finishing the full exterior in two days meant a completed result with minimal disruption for the homeowner.
