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.

Sweet little damaged chair to Shabby Chic

6 years ago

Surprises at each layer, some good some bad....but the finished project is just fine! Before-layers of fabric, horsehair and batting. Uncovered wicker and a thousand holes. Filled and sanded and finished product that's not too "shabby"! Shabby chic! Nice isolation project and happy with results.
