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.

    It depends where you live. If it is going to get freezing temperatures it will not support them in the long run. East Coast weather will not help. California weather will be ok generally speaking. Not suitable inside pools, above water like is ok , though.
