Build a material board
Collect actual exterior finish, interior finish, hardware, and glass samples. Review them in daylight before finalizing the coordinated design.
Use separate decisions within one plan
Windows provide light and ventilation; doors also manage everyday circulation. Let each opening work well before matching decorative details.
Plan for your property
Coordinate window sightlines, door finishes, hardware, and thresholds as a single project. Ask for separate window and door line items so your budget stays clear from the first conversation.
