We went through what seems like a ton of different options and while this is actually a long story to get where we are, the client basically went with the top mortar color. I took this picture because of the red steel pipe columns They are red because that’s the primer color that comes with the steel that keeps them from rusting.

The existing concrete deck is not sloped. Since “you’re the professional” , you are expected to do some educating and coaching of the designers and customers so that they know what to expect from the product once it is delivered and installed. Q: We are installing stone tile on an exterior balcony. Is this acceptable?

This is the project that I will be featuring as we go through the design, construction document, and construction process. On the right hand side of the image above is the master bedroom wing and deck. What is your plan for the surface below the deck at ground level? This is a look towards the front elevation of the house.
