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.

Louvered Gable vent ideas…

2 years ago

Hey! Building a modern Tudor with white washed brick…(shown in stucco)…what would you suggest for the Louver? Builder said they typically come in PVC or wood, neither of which sound awesome but I have. I clue. I found them in copper too…ideally want something narrow and not very big but…no clue where to look.

Can you paint? Will wood hold up? Any suggestions?
