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.

Replacement windows

8 years ago

What is the work needed on exterior trim around the windows when replacing them. The window sales person says do the replacement of dryrotted trim boards first, then they will install the windows. Doesn't that mean the installer will have the remove them again and I will have to have them redone?
