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 species? Stain/Sealer?

What type wood was used for your posts and beams and your garage doors? Beautiful in the different lighting! What stain or sealer was used? Thanks!

    I believe the timbers were solid-sawn fir and the garage doors were clad in fir. I do not recall what stain was used but I believe a urethane sealer was used to protect them.
