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.

kitchen!

13 years ago
My kitchen before was all oak and I stained all the cabinets and doors, got rid of the sunshine ceiling too. We are very happy with the final result!

      Love the transition, what was your process?
    • 13 years ago
      I took all the doors from the cabinets, sand them and the cabinets really well, stained them ( long process because the stain has to dry for 24hrs) then finish with a semi gloss water based varnish. Changed all the handles and hinges too for new ones. It took him two weeks and long hours to have everthing done. My hubby and a friend removed the sunshine ceiling and had to touch up the ceiling but it looks good.
