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.

Parquet refinishing

2 years ago

First of all the photos are old and the flooring is well worn since these were taken. Any advice on refinishing this hardwood parquet floor in a different color, but will coordinate with the color of the kitchen cabinets.

    I don't know how much lighter you can go, but a medium brown on oak looks nice and would contrast with the Philippine Mahogany(?)
