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.

We need recommendations for shades.

10 years ago
We need shades on these windows. Shades for privacy which do not block the light. The back yard has lots of trees and we gets very little sun. We need recommendations for translucent shades that will work with the Anderson windows and patio door including shades that will work with the hardware on the door and the windows. We do not need total privacy, but it would be nice if the neighbors could not watch tv with us

    Oh, sorry about your neighbors. Ours are wonderful. All of them. We couldn't have picked a better neighborhood to live in. They do, however tease us about watching our tv. It really isn't a huge problem in the daylight, but as the days get shorter and lights are on in the house while there is still some daylight outside, we need to have shades.
