@Doug W.I love black trim/shutters/doors myself, but I avoid it if the house is south-facing as it will absorb heat and transfer it into the house.

So on the trims we just rip them off and replace.

Call to action here is if you want a nice trimmed yard, call us because our work speaks for itself (branding).Bandit signs have had it's share of debates: Here is an article I read on BiggerPockets (https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/06/0...), which was posted 3 years ago.I can respect anyone's perspective of effectiveness as long as they know it works for them. 

Under the first proposal, the EPA would require Dust Wipe Testing in a variety of circumstances, including: 1.Use of a heat gun below 1100° F 2.Removal or Replacement of Window or Door Frames 3.Scraping of 60ft2 or more of painted surface 4.Removal of more than 40ft2 of Trim, Molding, Cabinets or other Fixtures 5.Use of Machines designed to remove paint through high speed operations 6.The Demolition or Removal, through destructive means, of more than 6ft2 of plaster and lath building components Cleaning Verification would still be required.

Stain is extra but this includes all the millwork around windows and floors etc. so 2k sq house  4 to 4500 to paint interior   same for exterior thats body of house trim and seperate door color Another 4 to 4500 for grand total of 9k.. for a 2k sq ft new build in Portland market.

I'm a big fan of neutral colors Light tan walls/ Creme Trim.

He does the trimming and cutting.

Private gated driveway with 3 power gate entrances, privacy wall from street and this home will have all the trimmings once completed.

Compare that to their cheapest engineered flooring at $0.891/sqft.I'd also like to point out that if you order trim online from Home Depot it is cheaper than going in store at Home Depot or Lowes (for shoe moulding and base moulding at least).

That big tree is also going to need to be trimmed to prevent large overhanging branches from falling on the roof or damaing the roof tiles.
