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.

Design Dilemma
10cammie

Need help in determining what type of posts for outside railing.

12 years ago
Our new house has round columns on the lower floor patio area. Above this area is an upstairs balcony with railing. In replacing the upstairs railing, should we go with round posts or square ones. Does consistency in the post's configuation make a difference?
