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.

Need Exterior paint color idea

8 years ago
I wanted to paint the exterior of my house a light gray but can’t decide if that will look good. Any suggestions on what would look good with my red barrel tile roof?
