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.

    Look at Sherwin Williams Woodscapes semi transparent "Charwood," for a very similar color. Cedar Valley offers that finish factory applied to our Handcrafted Shingle Panels.

      Hi - The exterior shingles are re-butted and resquared cedar shingles. The stain is a Cabot solid body brown/black.

      are you saying the color is called brown/black or you mixed the two to get this color? i've searched cabot site and am not seeing brown/black as a color...can you elaborate please?

      We no longer have the Cabot samples for this project but it was a very dark (brown/black) stain color. Best of luck!

      The Charwood seems more brown than this color
    • 12 years ago
      I agree.

      The sun is not helping figure out this color. It looks really blue. See what you think about Sherwin Williams black fox.

      Is this a semi transparent stain or solid color stain?

      This is a solid body stain, although with all the light hitting the surface of the shingles it's hard to tell!

      My customer likes this color. You said that it is a brown black but it doesn't seem that dark. It looks more like a warm medium shade of gray.
