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.

Recessed lights

9 years ago
At present the only light fixture in my living room is an old chandelier. We want to increase the lighting by adding recessed lights, how do I determine how many lights to have installed in the ceiling.
