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.

portico? porch?

last year

What kind of portico or porch could I put on the house? I think it may help give dimension to an otherwise flat exterior. It's split level so I'm not sure how that would complicate things?
