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.

Crown Molding

Complete remodel, adding 5.25 base, 4" trim on windows and doors, not sure what do as far as crown molding? Sloped ceilings,

    No crown molding any place in that room. Crown molding that just dives into a wall looks dumb. Crown molding should encircle the entire room, and since it can't here, don't use it at all.
