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.

Choosing front door colour

12 years ago
We recently bought a new home and chose the colour for our front door before the house was built. Now that we see the exterior put together, and have had glass inserts installed, we are not too sure if we chose the right colour. Any advice?

    I know you didn't ask for lighting advice, but your builder really screwed up the placement. The garage lights should be closer to the sides and the front door should either have two on opposite sides or one large ceiling light.
