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.

    While it's hard to say from this picture, the shutter louvers appear to be non-operational or fixed. You can get shutters made with either fixed louvers or operational louvers in different sizes. With fully functional louvers you can close the lower half for privacy and open the upper sections for a view of the sky.
