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.

Window Painting

2 years ago

Hi all,
We had our interior windows painted black, and the exterior came black from the factory. We noticed when we opened our windows this portion was not painted. Should that have been painted or is it standard practice to keep it natural wood? It looks super tacky from the exterior.
Thanks!
