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.

Is there a composite material available to build a custom railing?

2 years ago

Hello all. I’d like to have a custom designed x railing that looks like painted, white wood. Is there a material on the market other than vinyl?

i thought Azek made something, but now I’m not seeing anything. Thank you!
