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.

Exterior Facelift

13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
Our new house was so ugly the kids were embarrassed to have friends over. First on our list was an exterior facelift...and we did it all ourselves, including painting the exterior! And after 30 years without one, there is finally a walkway to the front door.

    Wow, you all did a fantastic job; the photos are great! The only thing you might add would be a light fixture above and to the left of the numbers.......very nice. I really like your bold color choices; great job.

      Yes, I totally agree. Right now we have the two lights on the ceiling fans but we need an actual front door light. I picked it out but alas, I have to wait for my husband to do the wiring. Might be a while. LOL
