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.

“Jason with J & G Builders has done several jobs for us including finishing our whole basement, remodeling our laundry room, tiling our bathrooms and installing a new front door. He is very knowledgeable about all types of jobs and if he doesn't know, he is not afraid to let you know that and he will seek expert knowledge from elsewhere. He is very trustworthy and does a great job cleaning up after himself each night after his work is done. I would highly recommend J & G Builders and plan to use them again in the future.”

“We needed an estimate on flooring for our newly purchased home. The entire downstairs needed flooring and they were able to make it out as soon as we could have them. They came out and measured and within a couple days generated an estimate based on material cost and labor to install it. We didn't end up having it professionally installed by them, but we were able to use them for materials. They never once charged us for the estimate and they were extremely helpful with answering our questions even after we let them know that we didn't need them to install it after all.”
