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.

Looking for ideas on exterior paint - 80s home

10 years ago

We recently bought this 80s home and desperately want to update the exterior. We'd like something much more contemporary and would love to paint the brick. Initial ideas include dark grey/black trim/and color pop door. But not sure about that brown roof. Another idea was all ivory/navy trim? Could use any and all ideas. Many thanks!

    I would do something like this in BM paint colors.
