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.

Design Dilemma

Need exterior house colors for new construction.

13 years ago
We are building a new cottage on an inland lake in Northern Michigan. We want it to look like it has always been there. We are using fiber cement siding, shakes and lap siding. Colors need to be in Sherwin Williams paint deck. House style Is Craftsman type, and my husband is not a super fan of green.
