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.

Cedar siding on covered porch

2 years ago

Our new home will have a large covered porch, including a large screened porch, and the builder's siding contractor has cedar siding left over from another job that we are thinking about using just on the porch. The porch posts are 6x6 pine. The decking is Trex Toasted Sand. Exterior paint is SW Mountain Road with Black Fox trim. I would love your suggestions for stain color for the cedar siding and porch posts that will work with this color pallet. Thank you!!!
