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.

      Great job! Definitely made it more inviting, relaxing. Like the idea of widening the mantle and beams around it.

      Nice improvement - way less distraction and lots more sophistication from updating with mouldings.
