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.

different trim color in basement??

6 years ago

We have silk trim (creamy color) throughout our home. We are finishing our basement and I really want to use SW alabaster white down there for the trim. Is that a big no no?? There is a door leading to the basement.
