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.

Replacing light carpet with wood floor.

11 years ago
I would like to replace my 2nd floor carpet with wood floors. Im worried it will be too dark because all my trim is wood. I really don't want to paint all trim white. Any thoughts

    Wood floors would look lovely in your bedrooms, and you don't have to paint your trims.
