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

Maintenance free materials needed

11 years ago
I need to replace 2 decks- the widows walk and second floor. Any opinions or facts from personal use or clients on which material is better such as Azek, Trex, Fipon etc. I had pressure treat and never treated it- need to make a decision soon. House is on a windy hill.
