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.

Curb appeal help

12 years ago
Help with my curb appeal. We moved in six months ago and have so far put in plantation shutters new outside lighting, door and sidelights. I'm looking for expert opinions and what we should do with our front porch. My idea has been to flagstone the front porch and either square it off so that it continues under the outdoor lights or round it like the bowed windows any opinions out there?

    Here's a "window box," according to Houzz thinking. Perhaps you meant "window trim," although yours do look quite boxy. Is there a place in the back yard for the BB goal? It isn't much of a plus regarding curb appeal! I doubt you intend to sit on the porch so I'd restrict it to the brick area, not the bow windows.
