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.

Deck stain redo or leave it...

7 years ago

Hello, the painter we hired to stain our deck forgot that we wanted a two tone stain, and only used the black stain (Pittsburgh Paramount Exterior Stain Solid mystic black), instead of [mystic] white and black. I wanted it redone, but now I like it....thoughts?
