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.

    I would recommend going with a color that is bright and fresh. Leave the molding the existing color and paint only the door exterior a color such as Benjamin Moore Hannah Banana Yellow ( http://m.benjaminmoore.com/paint-colors/color/hannah-banana) or Benjamin Moore Racing Orange ( http://m.benjaminmoore.com/paint-colors/color/racing-orange). Your house is lovely, but very muted in color so I think you can afford to be daring with the door color.
