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.

Contractor question for all

11 years ago

Is it unreasonable for me to tell my contractor that I want to see my semi elaborate wood hood/corbels etc installed before I decide what design/tile etc I want beneath the hood? It is a very large area and I really need to see the range and hood in place to get a feel of what would work. He can't seem to understand this--am I wrong?
