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.

Benjamin Moore Aura exterior vs. Element Guard

last year

I am looking to repaint the 4 exterior doors on my home. All will be painted black in a satin finish. Does anyone have opinions on aura vs element guard? Or if you have other paint brands/types that you would reccomend? House is located in Western NC.


Front door: faces west, under covered porch

side door: faces west, not covered

detached garage walk door: faces east, uncovered

exterior storage room door: faces east, uncovered
