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.

Ceiling options for unfinished basement with piping/framework below 7'

6 years ago

Unfinished concrete basement of an older home (1920s) has plumping that hangs below the beams. The Height is just under 7 feet already so we can't find any options to put a ceiling in that wouldn't make walking difficult.. husband is 6' 1"
