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.

    Using sealant isn't entirely necessary because of the natural resins in the cedar. But, you can use sealant and, yes, it will extend the life of the wood. You will want to use a sealant that doesn't run the risk of leeching harmful chemicals into the soil.
