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.

West coast contemporary new home, what should I choose and why

    You should choose the window that fits your budget, provides the performance you desire, and gives the proper look.

    If you want red exterior -- vinyl won't work. If you want a budget look, choose white vinyl.

    There are also fiberglass and composite frames, and all aluminum.

    Do you have a rendering of the house?
