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.

Changing living/dining arrangement

9 years ago

I have a long narrow living dining room which is two story. It does not feel "cozy" and I never want to be in there. In addition at one end where the dining area now is has a great view. One neighbor put her dining table in the middle and used the "dining area" as a living space.
