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.

    Amanda,

    This home was constructed from new about nine years ago. For this project we used solid wood railing components around the Covered Porch, this particular style is called 'Gooseneck' railings. Up top, the wrought iron 'Cresting' is used as a decorative element around the flat roof.
