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.

What are your thoughts?

13 years ago
Hi! I've chatted with you before and LOVE your work! I am in Austin, TX and this photo has inspired me to paint my orangeish acme brick house ballet white. I have played with half a dozen colors and this is my favorite! I am trying to decide between potassium silicate and an opaque lime wash finish so that I will not need to repaint any time in the near future. I would love your thoughts! I LOVE your work. I wish you were here in town!
Thanks!
