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.

"New" Brick Fireplace

11 years ago

Bought home built in 1912. Couldn't afford to replace fireplace and wanted to keep the Craftsman look and feel of the home. All done with paint and some ready made concrete.Final pic shows one year later... has held up well.
