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.

Front doors

12 years ago
I'm trying to decide which front doors would look best on our house. Unfortunately our architect retired before our elevation was complete. Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions?

Thank you.

    Either door will look good......I personally prefer the doors with the glass panels.
    However, you will have to decide based on information that I don't have.

    Would you feel safe with glass panels on your door front door ?

    If you do the glass panels you might want obscure glass....

    It is strange that your architect left you without completing the project.............Most architects never retire........we can't stop doing what we love........

    Good luck.
