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

Should we add on or not?

11 years ago
We have a 1920's craftsman house 1 story- we are debating about adding on a 2nd story with a master and bath. We are on a very small lot so can't not much room but putting a 2nd story would give us an ocean view! Can anyone share ideas on what they did- have very tall attic.
