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.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 27, 2017
“Lee was very helpful and always showed up when she said she would. Even after the cabinets came and her job was done, she followed up to make sure the installers did there job and guided them if she felt something should be changed. She was able to give me my dream kitchen and my bathroom vanity within my budget. I love it all. Thank you so very much. I would recommend her for your project.”
