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.

    It was an oil based stain, but this was done over 12 years ago - I don't have the exact color information any more...

    Would you know what product you used (Siddkins, TWP, Cabot, etc)?

    Hi,

    You have answered questions regarding cedar tongue and groove siding and I appreciate it. Could you tell me if they used edge grained wood or was it cut regularly (not sure what that is called). A stain manufacturer from TWP said that our contractor should use edge grain because it stains more evenly. What do you recommend?

    I don't even know what "edge grain" means, sorry...

    Either do I but that's what the guy at TWP stain manuf. wrote. Did you use kiln dried cedar or green cedar?
