Do you know the texture Finish they used, and also I know people keep asking the color and you are saying Ben Moore but you didn't actually paint over the top right? You mix the color into the stucco correct? Thank you so much! A: I apologize for not having a more specific answer to your question. The project has wood trim around the windows and doors - The Benjamin Moore color 'Dove White' that was suggested would be for those areas. The stucco is a smooth system finish I do not know the exact installation method, brand or the specifics on the color that was used. I believe on this project we installed a type of smooth finish, not sure if it is a type of stucco or a Dryvit limestone application. Should you be working on a project where design or building services are needed we would be happy to meet with you to do a consultation and we can provide for you more specifics on this project at that time. Best, Markay Johnson Construction **Q: Can you share the length of hardware to allow for 2 door enclosure?** *(in Photo Questions)* Also, any idea who made the door pulls? A: Yes, the doors are custom made. They are a single panel craftsmen style, the insert has a slight bevel. For this look and size you will be best served to have a custom door company assist you in achieving a similar look. If you are looking for a more formal design I would suggest using pocket doors should your space allow. Visit our project: I am not sure the design style you are looking for but this might help you get a feel for the two different looks. Best, Markay Johnson Construction **Q: What kind of roof is that?** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of roof is that? A: I hope you found what you needed. Best, Markay Johnson Construction **Q: Do you have any idea who manufactures this mirror/light?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I believe this piece was custom designed by a local metal shop in Salt Lake City. I do not have the manufacturers information. Best, Markay Johnson Construction **Q: what was used for the backsplash? The kitchen is beautiful.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The material on the back splash is a white subway tile. Best, Markay Johnson Construction **Q: Is there a floor rough plan of this home I could look at?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is there a rough floor plan of this home I could look at? A: We do have plans available - Should you be interested in a build job with Markay Johnson Construction we can assist you in procuring them.
