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.

Need help with colors

12 years ago
Building a lake house in Alabama. Like the look of medium gray siding with white trim. Need suggestions of paint color. What color shingles look best with gray? Weathered wood has been suggested, but it looks awfully brown to me. Any advice?
