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.

Modernizing traditional round columns

4 years ago

I believe our columns are structural so not able to remove them. They are the white tapered, fluted type and because of the taper, we can't box them in to make them square..how can I give them a faux finish to make them look more modern, maybe even industrial?
