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.

Best DIY home improvement website?

12 years ago
I'm new to Houzz and am confident that it's going to give me a lot of great ideas. However, I work for a non-profit organization and financially speaking will need to do a lot of our home improvements myself. What are the best websites for teaching me the "hows" of DIY home improvement? Houzz will be great for the "what." Thanks!
