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.

    John,

    We used 1x6 S1S2E Tight Knot Cedar and a Benjamin Moore translucent stain. The fence still looks great.
