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 color ideas?

10 years ago

Purchasing this gem, built in 1970. The exterior cement is in great shape but it needs an update to the paint on the trim and the eaves. Any color suggestions?

    I agree that a darker gray would be great. Take a look at SW 7048 Urbane Bronze. It will give it a more contemporary look. I would also add some differentiated (heights) of landscaping to create greater depth and interest to the house.
