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.

    This is real brick. Refered to as " Mexican Handmades". Call Lee Ferris 512 413-9104 to learn more. He was the supplier. Also, we intentionally had the masons do a "messy" mortar technique to give it an older look.

      Where did you purchase the Leuders limestone mantle?

      It was cut locally by a stone mason. It's an easy to work with stone and most masons should have the tools to cut a simple shape like that.
