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.

Help—Stinky new doors

3 years ago

We just moved into a home we built and 2 doors smell like BO and they stunk straight from the factory, since day 1. None of the other doors stink. I have sprayed the doors multiple times with febreeze odor remover and it doesnt help.

Why would they smell like that and how can I remove the odor?
