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.

Wainscoting in dining room

8 years ago

Hi! we are putting up wainscoting in the dining room and on the stairs. Is it better to leave two colors or paint the bottom white?

    Depends what look you want. (I just hope you're going to repaint w/a diff color up top!)
