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.

What type of roofing is on this home? Looks like slate? Where did you buy it?

    It is probably slate. The home was built over two hundred years ago in Blaise Hamlet designed by John Nash in 1810.

    Wow is that roof the original? I guess slate isn't something that you are likely to replace often if at all. Is it still common for people to use slate in that part of the country? http://www.millerroofingco.com
