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.

Shingles

10 years ago
What type of shingles did you use? Will they weather to gray or are you staining them? Can you let them weather before installation?

    Thank you for your inquiry. The shingles on the New England Farmhouse are western red cedar. They were not stained and will weather naturally. I imagine you could attempt to allow shingles to weather before installing. However, it would be more cost effective and natural to do so after installation.

    Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. James
