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.

Update 1959 Ranch with Paint

11 years ago
We want to update our 1959 ranch lake house with a modern look by use of paint but we are stuck.

The siding is red brick at the bottom and Hardie Board on top. The shutters are brown. The door will be updated but for now is real wood and ornate.
