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.

Stain or paint tongue and groove porch floor?

10 years ago

Which holds up better? Stain or paint? We are getting ready to sand down our porch floors installed 1.5 years ago bc so much paint has chipped off. Does staining hold up better?
