Dale and Jen returned to Top-Tier to completely change the look of their Cove Road home with a dramatic black-and-white palette, warm cedar accents, and coordinated deck, fence, and pergola finishes.
Color consultant Jo helped Dale and Jen move from a muted gray-and-cedar exterior to a confident Tricorn Black and Pure White design.
The project included the home, garage doors, pergola, fence, deck, railings, cedar shakes, trim, doors, windows, fascia, and soffits.
Read 200+ ReviewsThe new palette gives the home's varied rooflines, pergola, garage, siding, and cedar details a modern identity while remaining grounded in its wooded St. Croix Cove setting.
Tricorn Black grounds the lower siding, garage doors, pergola, fence, and deck. Pure White brightens the upper siding and selected cedar wall, while Cedar Bark preserves warmth on the shakes. The result is contemporary, balanced, and distinctly different from the original exterior.
As previous customers, Dale and Jen trusted Top-Tier to return and help them create an entirely new exterior style.
The homeowners wanted new colors and needed areas of peeling paint addressed. They met with Top-Tier color consultant Jo, who developed a modern palette that worked across the home's wood and Hardie board surfaces.
The crew pressure washed, scraped, sanded, primed, caulked, masked, protected landscaping, and covered outdoor furniture before applying the finish coatings.
In four working days, the exterior moved from a traditional mix of gray and cedar to a high-contrast modern design that transformed the entire property.
The original exterior combined gray siding with natural cedar, dark doors, weathered deck surfaces, a horizontal fence, and areas of peeling paint.

Top-Tier used several Sherwin-Williams products and finishes to match each surface and achieve a cohesive modern design.
Latitude was used on black siding, Duration Satin on the pergola and fence, and Porch & Floor Enamel on the deck.
Latitude Satin refreshed the white siding, while WoodScapes Solid coated the solid cedar wall at the rear.
WoodScapes in Cedar Bark preserved warmth and natural character on the cedar shakes.
Flat and satin finishes were coordinated across siding, doors, windows, garage doors, fence, deck, railings, fascia, soffits, and trim.
