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.

    Try Lowes barn paint!

    The red that was used was a custom color mix, so I don't have the exact formula to share. While the suggestion for a color from Lowes might be a good start, I would recommend against using cheap paint on your house. You will get what you pay for in the long term performance and durability. Stick with the best possible paint you can afford, a few gallons of paint costs a whole lot less than reprinting your entire house again.
