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.

    Hello Abhi,

    Putting a covered patio will make your home darker during the day. Have you considered a pergola that isn't covered? if a pergola is the right height, they can provide shade in the summer without losing the light inside your home. Here is a pergola project we finished this last summer (might help give you some ideas).
