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.

exterior siding design

6 years ago

We are planning to use primarily Hardie Plank lap siding for our new house, but would like suggestions for the best way to add vertical siding accents. We like how the vertical siding breaks up the big blank wall, but the builder says that the longest boards are 12' and will require seaming. Any suggestions for a way to make 14' of vertical siding? Other materials that might work? Thanks for any ideas!
