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.

    Hi Natalie, thanks for your question!

    The siding was western red cedar shakes, done in a custom mix of stains prior to installation.

    Yes, it is perfectly suited for Canadian climate... this building is on a lake north of Peterborough. We've also installed very similar cedar shakes in Toronto, on Georgian Bay, and in the Muskokas.

    Best regards,

    Kyle
