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.

Need a easy entry to front door with cement steps

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Our main entrance to our home is dangerous and unappealing. We have 5 cement steps up to a small cement platform with no railing and no room to open the door to get inside. I need a front entrance that's safe and easy to get in for my elderly parents and young children. I also need it to be cost efficient and appealing. What do you suggest?
