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.

Will this style work for my house?

13 years ago
My house is a 2-story traditional/colonial, white w/black shutters. We are soon to replace out front entry and I am curious whether this door, sidelights, and transom will be suitable. All comments welcome! Thanks!

    Thank your tor contacting McSpadden Custom Homes. Based on your description, I would not recommend this Prarie Style leaded front door for your Colonial Style Home. I believe a solid 6-panel wood door with sidelights and transom of beaded glass with a simple leaded pattern would be more appropriate. Good Luck!
