Exterior Trim Ideas To Brighten Your Herndon, VA Home

5 Creative Exterior Trim Updates To
Enhance Your Home’s Curb
Appeal In Herndon, VA

Make Your Home Stand Out With
Gorgeous Exterior Trim


Sometimes, you may look at your home in Herndon, VA and think that it’s time for a little bit of an upgrade.

Maybe your house isn’t quite living up to others in the neighborhood, or you just aren’t happy with the overall curb appeal. Instead of doing an expensive overhaul of the outside of your home, you could just switch up your exterior window trim to make your home pop.

Milcon Design & Build wants every home in Fairfax County to look the absolute best.

So, here are a few tips and tricks for how you can change up your exterior window trim to give your home that extra bit of style that it needs.


1. Paint Your Exterior Window Trim For Some Variety

In some cases, if you notice that your home is looking dreary, it might be time to replace your siding. This is a wonderful way to build back your home’s original charm or give it some new life.

But in other cases, your home could just be in need of some small details to make it really shine.

One of the best and quickest ways to update your home is to simply paint the exterior window trim.

For an extra pop, you can paint your trim a different color from your siding to make it stand out or go with a more neutral vibe for a more clean-cut look.

Dark exterior window trim can add some depth to your home and give your house a more dramatic look.

Meanwhile, white trim boosts your home’s curb appeal and provides your home with a simpler, cleaner look.

If you are looking for something more timeless, white is always a good bet.


2. Install False Shutters To Make Your
Fairfax County Home Stand Out

Back in the day, shutters were a vital part of any home to provide protection and energy efficiency.

But now, since we have the incredible technology of highly energy-efficient windows, people don’t need shutters quite as much.

But that doesn’t mean we have to forget about them altogether.

Installing false shutters in your home is a wonderful way to make your windows seem bigger and make your home stand out.

Luckily, they come in a number of shapes, sizes, and colors to fit your home’s aesthetic perfectly.


3. Bring Back A Vintage Look With
Colonial-Style Exterior Trim

Not everyone wants their home to stand out by looking all shiny and new.

Some people are particularly fond of the vintage style and want to return an old home to its original glory or bring a new home back in time.

One of the easiest ways to do that is by updating your exterior trim with some colonial-style details.

This makes your windows look just slightly wider and bring a little bit of architectural flare into the mix.

Colonial-style exterior window trim flares out, giving your home some added dimension and intrigue.


4. Install Cottage-Style Exterior Trim
On Your Herndon, VA Home

Cottage-style trim is another way for you to bring a more vintage and unique feel to your home’s exterior.

It is full of depth, but it doesn’t flare out like the colonial-style trim does. Instead, it brings a much more subtle style to your house.

Always dreamed of living in one of those homes you picture when reading your favorite fairytale?

This is your chance to add some of that romance and magic into your own home.


5. Bring The Beauty Of Nature To Your Exterior Trim

One of the easiest and most beautiful additions to the exterior trim of your home is some window box flowers.

This is a wonderful, simple step you can take to add some color to your house’s exterior and brighten up the design with your choice of flowers.

The great thing about this option is that you can change it whenever you want.

Change in seasons? Change the flowers!

This can call for a little bit of extra upkeep since you will have to dip your hands into some gardening. But the final results are well worth the extra effort.

We’re so pleased to be able to provide this review of our recent window replacements project with Milton Design and Build- all in all, truly a 5 star event. Owner, Matt Kavanah, followed up on a Thumbtack request for proposals with a home visit to see what we needed and how Milcon Design and Build could help. Matt explained the process, how long it would take to order and get ready for the installation, and most importantly, what we could expect as performance from the ProVia window and door products recommended for our home. Matt indicated that he would have Project Manager, Josh, come out and take precise measurements to make up the order, but for the proposal pricing he was able to give us a very competitive bid based on our conversation that day. We kept coming back to Matt’s straightforward conversation and the value of the windows we would be ordering. The price and quick time-to-install just sealed the deal. Matt made some key suggestions that, after our installation today, proved to be great advice. One of the reasons we chose to do a window replacement now (January) was the cold spots in both our primary bedroom and dining room - opposite ends of our house. Even upgraded HVAC hadn’t been able to overcome the heat loss. Tonight, with a new package of high-efficiency thermally broken windows and sliders installed, we’re actually turning the thermostat down because we’re warm! Thank you to Matt, Josh, Luis, Martin, and the rest of the crew for a great job, for explaining all the tips and techniques to get the most out of the new windows and front door, as well as to keep them looking beautiful for years to come! Thank you, Milcon Design and Build for working with us on this purchase… you guys are awesome!

Outstanding! After weeks of countless window contractor interviews, we found the perfect company. Matt at Milcon, with his many years of experience, provided us with detailed product descriptions to meet our environment requirements, that included muffling the Ashburn Data Center and air traffic noise. They installed over 40 windows in two days! Most important, my wife is so happy with our choice.

I went to Milcon for a quote and they came in under the competition. The staff was super professional and did everything I asked for. The team was quick and was done within hours. I would go back for any future projects.

Matt was very professional, gave us very good advice for the 2 massive doors we had to replace. We were very happy with the process, the execution of the project and the products. We had a very pleasant experience with Matt and his installation crew. Thank you so much.

Right on time. Matt and his team did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. Painless process from start to finish. I had a new roof in about 48 hours. Highly recommended.

We were in need of a roof replacement so we threw out a few requests on Thumbtack and I’m glad we did since it brought us to Milcon Roofing. Matt reached out very quick and if I recall correctly came out the following day to discuss options. He wasn’t pushy or trying to just sell me something. It was clear he has been in the business for years and more or less just informed me of my options. He also noted his crew gets certified on the roofing systems which we really liked. So we needed up asking for a quote and it was very fair and competitive. I will say, Matt was very professional, quick to reply to texts, his quote was very fair, and his crew was on time and knocked out the job out in less than one day. Oh, also their clean up was outstanding. While I hope to never see Matt again (since the roof will last many more years than we should be here) I would 100% call him back for any future work here or at our next home. If you need a new roof, give them a call, you won’t regret it!

We hired Milcon Roofing, Design & Build for replacing the original aluminum siding on our house. Matt took the time to explain different options and we opted for the insulated siding. Matt was very easy to work with and communicated with us through the entire process. The work crew did an great job despite some days with rough weather. We are very happy with the results, less cold drafts, a reduction in noise and a more modern looking exterior. Everything looks great! Can't recommend enough.
