Martin Bros. Contracting, Inc. Since we are a design-build company, we typically work with local clients (within 50 mile radius of our office). We would recommend you contact a local registered architect and a reputable general contractor that understands local building technology, geographic/climatic factors, and building codes. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

all the exterior painted wood - could you tell me what type of wood you have used to border the cedar shakes and the woodwork around the sunrooms (all exterior trim) ,do you also do drawing your houses are awardwinning,very nice »

Martin Bros. Contracting, Inc. So sorry it took so long for this reply, it was filtered into our junk mail. Most of the trim is a composite. The product used is called Azek. This particular home was designed by our in-house Architect, Phil Jenkins.

Martin Bros. Contracting, Inc. The architect does not know the concentration, he did say they have helpful information on the Cabot website. Here is the link http://www.cabotstain.com/products/product/Bleaching-Oil.html

Like that the eastern red cedar shakes stained with Cabot bleaching oil make for such a nice exterior siding look. Wonder if this or very similar is available in hardie plank, and roof colors to go with could be dark gray as shown, or shades of brown.
