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.

Buying Used Windows

14 years ago

I am planning on looking for used windows for my project: turning a shed into a patio/sun room. Does anyone have any tips on how I should go about this? I am planning on looking at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where they sell used building materials. Other than a lead test, how should I evaluate the windows? Thanks so much for any advice.
