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.

Hi, can you please let me know what the stairs are made of? What type of wood?
Thank you!

    Hi, thank you for your kind words!

    The treads are actually milled out of trees that needed to be removed for the construction of the addition (if you look closely you can still see the live-edge bark on the backsides of some of the treads).

    I believe they were ash.
