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.

window replacement

12 years ago

I am getting quotes on having my windows replaced. I have an arched entryway window that measures 68" X 84" and two side light windows on each side of the front door. One contractor says I have to have tempered glass and another says I don't.

I haven't got a clue which one is correct.
