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.

What is the exterior material?

12 years ago
We have a 30 year old contemporary home with natural pine car-siding. Need some options for replacement that will maintain the look/feel of home. Thanks!

    Maybe you can send an image of your home. The picture above is a rough sawn cedar board. heights vary from 3 1/2" 5 1/2" and 7 1/4". Stained with semi transparent Cabot Stain. The fireplace is raw steel sheets left to weather naturally.

    What is the color of the stain or has the cedar weathered to this gray color?

    The stain is a Cabot Stain - semi transparent water based product.
    Color is Federal Blue.
