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.

exterior paint colors

11 years ago

We live in New England in a traditional colonial home with clapboard siding. Our home is currently stained a beige color with linen white trim. We are considering staining it gray with true white trim. What gray would you advise for a true gray, not blueish or purple?
