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.

Before & After

Brightened kitchen!

10 years ago

After: We maximized the storage in this kitchen by adding an island for added seating, prep space and storage. The cabinets were heightened to make the room feel larger and the cabinets, countertops and hardware were all updated.

Before: This kitchen had outdated flooring and hardware and the cabinets lacked height, which made the room feel smaller.

    Very nice! Taking the cabinets to the ceiling really lifted the space!

      Big difference! It definitely looks bigger and it's brighter as well! Nice job!

      Your new cabinets and color choices for paint and tile really make the kitchen shine!

      Adding the island is the best thing u could have done. The owners will wonder how they ever got along without it.

      Looks very nice! :)

      what a great transformation.

    • 10 years ago

      Great job! :) Not only was the island a smart idea... but the height added visually to the room by the cabinets is fantastic, your eye goes right up and that really improved the look of the space.
