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.

1956 side split Reno

6 years ago

Hello we are renovating our 1956 side split home. Has anyone renovated this type of home and have ideas how to create a foyer vs opening the door and the whole house is on display?
