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.

Need help with sliding door window covering

13 years ago
My family room doesn't get a lot of sun during the day but at night the neighbors can see inside. I would like a modern covering that clears the window entirely but doesn't take up too much wall space. Is that possible?

    Either a roller shade or a sliding door cell shade works. The roller shade you will have to pull the shade all the way to get by. It will cost less money. The sliding shade you just open as much as you want, however will cost more $$
