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.

Add a front entry garage?

13 years ago
What would you recommend for the structure on the second floor on top of a garage placed on the right of the porch? A dormer similar to the left side? Should the garage be flush with the porch or the house?

    I think the garage should be set back from the porch. Although there are plenty of attractive garage doors out there, I think you want to have the emphasis of the front facade to be the main entry.

    So beautiful--You are so right about the garage! Maybe a side entry but don't mess it up!

    What is the floor plan? It is absolutely stunning!
