My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    This is Real Red #6868 by Sherwin Williams mixed with a little of the ready made rustoleum brand in red for exteriors--- which you can find at Lowes or Home Depot:)

      The trim is actually white I think picture just gives it that yellow hue....Pure White 7005 by Sherwin Williams is very close:)

      Thank you so much! I mixed Real Red by Sherwin Williams #6868 and added some Rustoleum exterior paint pre made...."Sunrise Red" is a good one to try...I just mixed together until I got the color I loved...Good luck with your door:))

      Rachel - I love the deep red color, I am wondering if the Rustoleum made the Sherwin Williams brighter, or gave it the more deep red color.

      Thanks!
