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.

    The beams are wood glu-lams, what you see is the structural element, there is no capping

    The beams look great, are they douglas fir glulam and how are they finished (hard wax oil)?

  • 8 years ago

    Did you ever get an answer to how the glulam was finished? Looks great would like to know finish as doing one now
