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.

Ideas for this 2nd floor balcony?

6 months ago

We have this second floor balcony on our house and it perpetually had problems with leaking or other damage. We have had it fixed 3 times now, and truthfully we dont really use it. We are now considering how we can cover it. One idea is to make it a sunroom or a partially enclosed balcony - but I am having trouble imagining what that would look like from the back of the house. Any suggestions? Basically we want to keep it protected from rain and snow, and perhaps make it a bit more usable than it is now. TIA!
