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.

Protection at Ground Level

20 years ago

We hope to make a larger window in our basement. Problem is we are taking down our deck and putting in a patio so this means the window will be at ground level with a larger surface area. Any suggestions to keep it from getting broken?
