HOA and Neighborhood Considerations
Medina's historic district has architectural guidelines — always verify color choices before painting. We always recommend confirming your color choice is approved before we start — we can help you navigate this process.
Trim and Accent Colors
The right trim color makes your main body color shine. For most Medina homes, we recommend:
- White trim — Extra White (SW 7006) or High Reflective White (SW 7757) for a crisp, classic look
- Contrasting shutters — a deeper version of your body color, or a complementary accent like navy or forest green
- Front door — a bold accent color (navy, red, black, or deep green) adds personality without overwhelming the home
Colors That Hold Up in Ohio Weather
Not all colors are created equal when it comes to Ohio's climate. Here's what we recommend for Medina homes:
- Use Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald — these products are specifically formulated for harsh climates and resist fading, cracking, and mildew
- Avoid very dark colors on south-facing walls — dark colors absorb heat and can cause paint to fail faster on sun-exposed surfaces
- Light to mid-tone neutrals — these hold up best over time and have the broadest buyer appeal
