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.

Hi. I have a curved stair case and many carpet installers have told me not to use a linear design, due to not being able to match up the lines. How were you able to make that work? Looks great!

      The carpet would have to be cut and seamed at the top and bottom of every riser along the curve - It's not a simple or inexpensive installation.

      HI Julian... I own a very old house ( for the US.. 1800's) carpet guys told me .. you cannot use a stripe on a stair with a winder ( ( I only have 2 unlike yours!).
      Wish you were closer by...! We need skilled installers here!
