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 was another of our favourite projects. The ceiling is from the original construction from the mid-century build and is one-quarter sawn oak. To soften the look, we applied a sheer white glaze over the existing wood. We agree - the final effect was quite beautiful so thanks for your kind comment.
