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.

Trim?

13 years ago
I am building a new house. I like white trim but not white doors. I have young kids and feel they will be dirty all the time. What is popular for trim now?
