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.

What to put in place of a wall-through AC?

last year

I am installing mini-splits and will remove my wall-through air conditioning unit. How do people typically deal with the hole left behind?

  • last year

    Can you match the exterior siding? My recommendation is to patch/paint the outside, insulate and replace drywall indoors. Might wish to remove the electrical too.
