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.

Was a permit necessary for the pool fence?

We have a railing system that is in need of replacement; there is a pool involved, and would like to put something similar in.

    For permitting purposes you will most likely need to go up to 6'h, you should check with your city planning dept. to get specs.
