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.

“I hired Candace and their crew for a client of mine that was having issues with ice damning last year. They showed up on time, did what they need to for the job, and clean up. Any concerns my client had she answered. She is very knowledgable in the insulation industriesand highly recommend Candace and the green coccon form your next spray foam project!!
