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.

Awkward transition in basement stairwell

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

I am painting the house overtime. We are doing some major remodeling so I'm looking for a temporary but not that temporary fix. My basement is being painted white and the upstairs is brown. I'm unsure of how to make this transition look less than totally awkward.
