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 and carport door color HELP PLEASE!!!!!

12 years ago
We are replacing all the wood with vinyl siding thisMonday. The color is sandstone. Our shutters are Charleston green. The barred glass doors are coming down too, thank goodness. Eventually, we will replace it with a plain glass door. I am struggling with color choices. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!

    No shutters for double window and make sure shutters for single windows fit - that is if you actually used them they would cover the windows. Not sure what colors you are looking for - for the front door or railing? A pale shade of turquoise might work for the front door since using Charleston green for shutters. Railing should remain black.

    Remove the ivy from the front of the house (it's probably damaging the brick) and add some attractive shrubbery to the front. Sconces by the front door would be more practical than the lone light out in the yard.
