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.

Need help with staircase: unexpected vertical beam

9 years ago

At the very last minute this weird vertical beam was built to support the structure.

It was supposed that the wall will be seamless as the whole house design is a mix of transitional and contemporary styles. So currently I'm trying to think of some frame from both sides of colored wall. Or the other option is to make the colored wall of different material.

Any ideas?

    Are you talking about the piece beside the red ? This is a very weird drawing as that does not appear to be a beam at all do you have an actual picture of this instead . My 1 st thought is just paint it the same as the rest of the walls
