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.

Design Dilemma

sliding or french door?

11 years ago

I have a 6ft sliding door from the living room to a covered patio.

It is time to replace the door - is one choice better than the other? Maintenance? drafts?
