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.

How is rain runoff handled on this pergola? Looks like a solid roof.

    This is a solid porch roof addition, connected to the exterior wall. Although it is not apparent in this photo, the top windows are not continuous with the windows in the middle. The roof is a metal roof, and slopes toward the yard, along with the runoff.
