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.

Front door stain

3 months ago

Will be installing this Mahogany front door, home is currently being painted Alabaster SW (warm white). Landscaping in progress. Need help with door stain color choice. Like a warm brown…not yellow or red/pink although Mahogany has the pink/red undertones would like it to look as warm medium brown as possible- not too dark. Thinking Minwax Special walnut, english chestnut or Early American stain with spar urethane or marine grade varnish top coat. Home faces west, lots of sun. We are in CT on beach road. Anyone have any advice?
