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.

Front door paint color help

9 years ago

A couple of years ago we painted the front door this red color. It was fine for a few years but now I don't have any paint to do touch ups. Plus, I think I am over the red! What paint color would look good on the front door for a new look? My house is dark gray with white window trim. Sorry the picture doesn't show the whole ranch house. It was taken last fall.

    Sherwin Williams Cerise is one of my favorites. It's a pretty raspberry color.

    Or in a different direction, maybe SW Quixotic Plum.
    Or you could do a deep teal like Connor's Lakefront.
