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.

    The siding is natural cedar shakes. The color is actually a funny story! The day we were talking about exterior colors, the interior designer was wearing a blue shirt. The client looked at her shirt, and said, "I want the exterior to be that exact color." So, we sent the shirt to our painters and they color-matched the siding perfectly to the color of the shirt. So, to answer your question, it was a custom color. Have a great day!

      Hi! I'm thinking about painting my house Gentleman's Grey as well but have no luck finding a house online that actually painted it that color. May I ask what white trim color you chose?

      Thanks! May I ask if you have a photo of the siding and trim of your house? I can't find any house photos online has a gentleman's gray exterior.
