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.

Cabinet Glass

14 years ago
Does low-lead,low-iron glass (starphire) make a difference in kitchen cabinets? Is it worth the extra money? Or is it mainly used in thicker glass applications like shower doors?

    I just took this with my camera phone so it's not great but might give you an idea of glass. The before was completely different. We basically gutted it but kept the same footprint.
