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.

8 years ago

Hi there! We had our countertop replaced with quartz, and now that we're replacing our oven did I notice that the countertop is supported by what looks like cardboard box paper above plywood. Does this make any sense? Thanks!
