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.

Wood surround

Is the wood some moisture resistant species like redwood or cedar, or is it simply treated for weather/moisture resistance?

    It is called thermowood. It is sold at Design Hardwood Flooring in Los Angeles. It has a heat treatment that makes it resistant to rot and mildew, without harmful chemicals. It is really great stuff. It is made textured and flat. We find it very reliable.
