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.

    Hi, I usually try to keep porch depths at a minimum of 7 feet. This

    project was set at 9 feet. The porch columns are 8" diameter. If I was doing single columns (not doubled) I might make them 10" diameter depending on the composition.

    Thanks, Andreas Letkovsky.
