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.

Beautiful!! Could you please tell me what stain you used on the beams and window trim.

13 years ago
We are in the middle of a dilemma - our Pine window trim is being stained is week and it is looking like a brown zebra- the light grain is not picking up e stain color it looks white and the non grained parts looked stained. Confused and worried.

    The window trim is painted – Ben Moore HC-49 Regal Satin Gloss. For stains, the answer is not as straight forward. We develop custom colors and custom processes specific to the wood species, interior environment and other factors. Samples, using the actual wood that will be stained, are always provided for review by the Owner, Contractor and Installer, For this project, we used Bioshield products on the beams, including a penetration sealer and a custom blended stain. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we may be of assistance to you. Hourly consultation is available. 802-253-2169. - Andrew
