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.

Hi.

Renovating an old home where bricks were used as firestops in the wall cavity between floors. Is there a modern product with some insulating ability I can use in place of the bricks?
