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.

    This was an old house that we mostly gutted, but left the original wood around the fireplace. We painted the wood grey and then did a black glaze over to give it an aged look. It was the best way to hide the imperfections of the wood.
