Painting profile for Fossil Lake Ranch

Mixed siding — LP SmartSide bodies with stucco accents are typical, and cedar or cementitious trim is common on the higher-end homes. Body and trim usually contrast; garage doors often get a bold accent color. We back-brush on wind-exposed south elevations facing the reservoir.
