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.

Metal Roof

7 years ago
Wondering if you could suggest real rusted metal (not painted) company/brand that end rust color will be more brown than orange?

    The answer is Corten steel, but it costs twice as much as letting regular steel rust. Most rusted steel starts out orange but turns dark brown in a year or two in Colorado, probably less time in more humid climates.

    Thank you.
