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.

Uncanny!

9 years ago
Our design seems to be a sibling of this one and we're wondering if we can ask a few questions that you, owners will already know... hoping for some wisdom shared by your experience. Thanks! Mark S.

    Impressive design! Love the use of the orange, green, and grey.

    Thank you... we're grateful that you're offering to share your thoughts! Sorry for the gargantuan delay in replying. Life happened! :)

    We're planning a home now with similar characteristics and some of the questions we have that only experience could answer are...

    With the house open, how does it work out with bugs? My wife is concerned about bugs getting into the kitchen and pantry. How do you keep them out?

    Secondarily, how does it go for books and maybe a piano as far as humidity is concerned?... Oh and the random critters that can't read the neon no vacancy sign? :). Loooove to hear your experience as we embark on this journey!

    -Mark and Aline
