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.

Wood deck OR cement/brick patio to replace old cement patio?

40 year old cement patio needs replacing. Like the cement, but wondering if a wood deck would be a less expensive replacement than cement. Does a wood deck have more upkeep?
