We understand we are responsible for trimming and maintaining the trees around our rental property.

What paint color would you recommend for the siding and trim areas?

I need to refinish the decks every other year, paint trim every 3 years etc.

We removed the cabinet trim and hardware, sanded everything down with an electric hand sander and handheld sandpaper/blocks.  

They even ran 220 up to the 2nd floor with a 3 wire then split it to run 2 different homeruns to the same circuit...scary stuff)-New oak staircase-New windows and trim, baseboard, crown moulding, etc. 

Replaced the 36X48 single pane with 36X36 double insulated windowsThankfully the side and rear windows were already 36X36 so they were a simple swap but we replaced all the trim work on these

Anyone have experience stripping paint from trim? 

I do like not dealing with as many maintenance issues, Lanscaping, snow plowing and so on - but I also don’t want to be screamed at for touching up paint on the trim of an exterior door with a shade of white that was  not apparently  board approved.

I'm able to trim them way back by doing most of the expensive work myself.
