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.

Very small entryway

2 years ago

I have an older home with a very small entryway. I am removing the awful carpet and will repaint. However, I need suggestions as to what to do with the walls as you enter up the stairs. I have always painted, but it get gets knicked and chipped. My husband also goes up and down to the basement a lot! Also, any suggestions for the stairs would be greatly appreciated. I’m going to be replacing the linoleum with LVP. Love this group! Thank you!
