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.

Are the open beams on the ceiling exposed, or are they installed?

    Hi, thanks for your inquiry. The beams are not original structure. They are antique timber beams sourced from the NC mountains and installed during the construction.

      Hi, thanks for your interest. The beams are installed purely for aesthetics, they are not exposed structure.

      This is gorgeous. How were you able to install the beams? I am currently putting together a ceiling similar to this one, but my husband and I can't quite commit to how to hold the beams in place. And may I also ask the size of those beams. Thanks!
