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.

      Got to thank houzz for my front door inspiration....horizontal ribbed glass in a $38 door from Habitat! My friends spent $6000 on their front door (cherry and sidelites) and it is ugly!

      This looks wonderful! I have brick and everyone tells me not to paint it, but yours looks fantastic!

      Amanda. Thx. I only painted the bumpy red brick. People want me to paint yellow brick also but I am not. My architect recommends against it
    • 12 years ago
      i grew up near a factory that made yellow brick ,in Western Pennsylvania the yellow clay makes a brick that is less pouris doesn`t take the paint as well...wise not ot try to paint it..The transformation on this job is beautiful ,it invites you to come in and sit a while...
