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.

Entryway bench help!

11 years ago
What color paint or stain would you recommend for this old bench???
Featured Answer
  • 11 years ago
    I like the idea of staining or painting in high gloss the same color as the railing. Then you could put a pillow for a pop of color and change out throughout the seasons so you don't get bored.
