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.

Downplay orange in brick

9 years ago
What color do you suggest for the door and shutters to downplay the orange tones in the brick? Considering black shutters and a new wood door. Cedar siding and trim were fairly recently painted so we don't want to change that.

    The shutter color isn’t helping. Try white shutters. It will make the windows look larger and more important.

    Any chance you can snap in muntins in the windows?
