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.

House Style

14 years ago
last modified: 14 years ago
How can I best figure out what style my house is considered? I would like to decorate with the original style in mind, but don't really know if my house is considered a colonial, victorian, or something else all together. I believe that it was built in or around 1897 and it is in New England.
