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.

    Hi. Sorry. The stain was a custom mix to match the existing, original stain on the house.

    On our camp in Western Maine we used the color the National Park Service uses - Oxford Brown.

    Susan, what brand is the Oxford Brown?
