Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 16, 2009 8:34 pm So we were planning on doing a feature render colour for our facade. We are currently having a limestone feature with our rendered front facade and we were going to do our porch in darker contrasting colour but we have been told its going to cost us an extra $600....we are now at the point where all these little add ons are adding up....so its a big no and we will paint it ourselves on top of the colour we are having......after all we are spending with them.

We also decided it was not worth the cost and just went with one colour.
