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.

    Robin,

    We had those custom made for this project. Unlined roman shades is sometimes not advisable. The material used has purpose may be one of the biggest challanges, however, when you do the shades in a unlined fabric, the problem is that they may be destroy by the sun. Also it may vary based on the fabric. Please a call me if you need more details on things. I can be reached is 301 933 7723.
