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.

Factory finished cedar decking? Possible? Worth it?

5 years ago

I'm trying to install a cedar deck in an area where there is a very short optimal staining window and have just learned that it could be possible to purchase factory finished/stained cedar. I'm looking for advice, dealers, cautionary tales, considerations. Thanks!
