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.

Can't decide on paint color for exterior

13 years ago
Need a 3 color plan that is not conservative but also not too crazy. Would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions. Also color for for new roof.

    I LOVE your front garden. I hope you can save as much of the climbing plants as possible when you paint.

    Given your lush garden, how about a green and purple scheme? I'm thinking a greenish grey with a purple door and either white or just slightly off-white trim.
