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.

13 years ago
I looked at acme old town and it did not look this good. Is there a trick they used to get this look?

    Yes. Thick slurry with a light drag. Thicker down pipes for the gutters. And dark, rich paint all add in the process

      What is the name of the brick used? Also the stone?
    • 12 years ago
      I also looked at houses with the Acme Old Towne. They all looked more deep rust and brown than this. You may want to take a look at Magnum's Thorndale for a look very similar to how this brick looks in these pictures.
