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.

    Thanks! That color was chosen in the field (after several rounds of samples!) so I don't have a spec to pass along. The trick is always to choose a stain with just the right amount of pigment so that the natural variation of the underlying wood is evened out but not completely covered up. DA
