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.

Fireplace reno advice?

9 years ago


We just purchased our home and one of our first projects is the fireplace. It's the center piece of the living area. Should we just do the tile to the mantle or go all the way up to he ceiling??

    well I guess it would depend on what look you want and what material you're using. I don't like the current mantle, and it's not fit properly. But for what you have going on w/your TV, I'd vote, "all the way up and no mantle".
