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.

Living Room

Sue from Kitchener

5 years ago

We bought a viceroy style summer home. I want to install beams at the peak of each room. In the living room, I was thinking of also installing side beams, perpendicular to the beam at the peak. Is it OK to only install the side beams in one room, leaving the other rooms with just the beam at the peak?
