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.

Help with dormer colors

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

The house is suppose to be grey brick with a German SMear. We had a grey roof and black garage doors installed. Here’s where the problem is- the windows are a khaki color instead of the antique ivory we had envisioned. I can’t decide what color/ material to use. Please help before my husband kills me!

    Wait and see what shows through smear before you select paint for the dormer, unless you want to match it to the other trim.
