My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Design Dilemma

Vinyl or Wood Clad windows

12 years ago
I'm building a new contemporary house and am in the design phase. My architect recommends vinyl Jeld Wen windows. I'll have about $1.1 mil into the house. Should I be looking at wood clad or fiberglass windows? How's Jeld Wen? Should I look at other manufacturers?

    I would go with Andersen before Jeld Wen... Better window and better warranty.

    Good luck
