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.

Building a house

10 years ago

I'm trying to pick lighting fixtures for a 1700 square ft home on a ranch. Like farmhouse/ industrial/elegant blend. House will have three barnwood doors and cement stain floors. I have a red leather couch already that will be worked into the open concept design.
