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.

    Thank you for your kind response. I am trying to make a decision on how large I should go on my posts for my porch. This was very helpful. Your home is lovely. My new home will be Hardy Board in Artic White and has three peaks.
