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.

Our new kitchen

9 years ago

We bought a dated 1972 house in the Bay Area with a very dated kitchen. The kitchen had a box that was intended for a fridge to "hide" in. One window so kitchen was dark. No storage. Low quality cabinets. U-shaped kitchen that had one cabinet opening from an opposite site than where the prep are was. It was a full gut, we added french door to our side yard. The sink is facing the french door so we can watch our kids play and it is just a whole new space. Definitely worth the work.

      Major improvement! It looks much larger. Also the bold green garage door is a great touch. Bold colors are very trendy right now!

      This is a great update! Love the french doors! I am also in the bay area and we are updating our "vintage" 1970's kitchen. It's challenging but so worth it. Thanks for the inspiration!
