Frame Colors That Work With Brick and Siding
White frames are classic and forgiving. Almond and tan suit warm brick tones. Black or dark bronze exterior frames give a crisp, modern outline and look sharp against white brick or light siding, though dark colors absorb more heat, so we recommend products designed for them. Many lines offer a different color inside than out, so you can keep white interior trim.
Grids, Proportions and Style
- Colonial grids suit traditional and Southern-style homes.
- Prairie or perimeter grids fit craftsman and farmhouse looks.
- No grids at all keeps contemporary homes clean and maximizes the view.
- Grids between the glass are easiest to clean; simulated divided lites give more depth.
We also look at sash proportions: a window with a narrow frame shows more glass and looks lighter from the curb.
The Front Door Sets the Tone
A new entry door is one of the fastest ways to change a home's personality. Options include craftsman doors with a row of glass at the top, full-glass doors with privacy textures, wood-grain fiberglass that can be stained, and smooth doors painted a bold color. Sidelights and transoms add light to a dark foyer. Coordinating hardware, whether matte black, satin nickel or brass, ties the door to light fixtures and window finishes.
Seeing It Before You Buy
We bring samples and photos of finished projects so you can compare colors against your brick or siding in daylight. If you are also changing siding or trim color, we plan the palette together.

Common Questions
Will black window frames fade or overheat?
Products made for dark exteriors use finishes and materials designed to handle heat and resist fading. We only recommend dark colors in lines built for them.
Can old and new windows match if I only replace some?
Matching an old product exactly is rarely possible. If you replace in phases, we choose a style and color that will carry across the whole house so the end result is consistent.
Can you replace weather-damaged windows and doors?
Yes. We replace windows and doors damaged by storms or age and can document storm damage for your insurance company.
