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.

    Sorry for the slow response. These must have went to my junk mail folder.

    The front door was an interesting story. The owners ordered a Douglas Fir door from Simpson, and the did not like the glass panel sizes. We ended up having a local door guy make this door out of Larch, which is very similar to Douglas fir.

    The stain on the vertical Cedar siding (and I believe the entry door as well) was Sikkens Cetol 1+2x3 in Natural Oak Color.
