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.

Help With High Walls

12 years ago
The Great Room is 30 x 28 with a VERY high ceiling. I think these walls need help! Any ideas appreciated!

    Then again....I suspect your heating and cooling bills are enormous. Suspend a thoughtfully-chosen ceiling fan (bigassfans.com) to circulate the air in this room. Hang it from a long rod that brings the fan down into the room. It will be stunning- and suddenly those walls will be more like a frame.
