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.

Shutters

10 years ago
Don't know what to do in place of these shutters on the exterior of our house, but I want them gone. Or update somehow? It's just plywood behind them. One to left of entry, other on right side of house on garage wall

    A window would be nice. If that's not possible, remove the brass door knobs, clean and repaint the shutters and add more realistic hardware (hinges, latch).
