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.

Shaw or Hallmark engineered floors??

4 years ago

Building a new home and have narrowed it down to two engineered wood flooring options from a very limited list. I have seen more negative reviews about Shaw, but the Hallmark we are looking at is slightly thinner. Deciding between Shaw Inspirations (1/2") or Hallmark Novella (7/16"). Anyone have experience with either of these? Thoughts? TIA
