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.

What color stain is used on the shakes for this home please?

14 years ago
I am assuming it is a semi-transparent stain and would like to know the name of the color and brand used.
Thanks so much!
Regards.

    I would love to know the name of the stain used on the shingles and the trim paint color as well. Beautiful color scheme on this house!

    The siding is red cedar, pre-primed in semi-transparent at the factory in Cabot Beechwood Gray. Then a single coat of Semi-transparent Cabot Pepperwood was applied. Most of the ext. trim is Embassy Green #1523 from Benjamin Moore.

    Can share the name of the factory that provided pre-primed red cedar?

    I would check with a building supply company near you to avoid excessive shipping costs. I believe we have used Maibec in the past, but they now have their own colors and seem to use mostly white cedar now.
