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.

Is this an architectural asphalt shingle or a different material?

    The roof was layed with cedar shakes which patina'd over time to a varying shades of gray. Good luck with your project.

    They're beautiful. I was hoping for some miraculous asphalt that looked like the real thing! I guess there is no replacement!
