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.

Pilasters with Hidden Downspouts

9 years ago
Hi, beautiful house! I was wondering about the pilasters with hidden downspouts. Is this a product on the market, or something custom made? What are they made out of?

    Thanks for your interest. It is a custom detail made with standard painted copper downspouts and standard composite 1/2 columns. There are pvc pipes at the bottom hidden within the base that drain the copper downspouts out to an underground drain.
