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.

Fireplace wall - Before/After

7 years ago

Started with ugly brown wall & white brick fireplace. Had our brick painted, added a slab lumber mantel and cheap bookcases....until we were able to design & build our builtins. The transformation made a huge impact!

      Great work!

      I love the layered steps in your design, this is how must of us reach our goals, not one big massive renovation but slow replacements along the way.

      This is life.

      Did you have a pro paint your fireplace. I have white painted brick and love what you have done to yours.

      Agreed - love the newly painted brick. Beautiful job. The fan is a lovely piece and just think you did a brilliant job of that whole room. Bravo!
