1. 5/5Mrs. Nancy Rolley

   This is the second review. The one below I apparently neglected to send a few years back. So now we have built a new house still on the island but on a small lake with a short walk to the beach. From the first concept of our custom home to the furnishings, plumbing fixtures, room ideas, accessories and furnishings, I have used HOUZZ on a daily basis. And now we are about to move in with a small punch list and finishing touches to be completed. We could not have accomplished all we did if it weren’t for your wonderful app. The idea books were my lifeline to keeping ideas and purchases in order. We collaborated with the builder and design team to convey our likes to them. It is so much easier to show a photo of your favorite kitchen than to give vague directives of what’s on your mind! This has been a lifesaver and a wonderful experience. Kudos for you great organization! I will send photos under separate cover. HOUZZ is the most wonderful design and resource app in the world! I have just completed renovating a home and it is beautiful! All the ideas I came up with for removing walls reworking size shape and function of rooms were possible and realized because I could visualize by looking at photos of similar designs just by search words. I also used discussions and polls when I couldn't make a decision. I kept a file in the app of ideas and inspirations. I purchased many items through HOUZZ. What is most amazing is I accomplished this home makeover long distance from 1200 miles away. With a talented builder and HOUZZ, my nightmare house purchase is now a most beautiful dream home! Thank you HOUZZ!

2. 5/5Houzz for the Latest and Greatest!

   We recently moved back to Texas to build a new home overlooking the Texas Hill Country in Canyon Lake; one of the fastest growing areas in Texas. I always look to Houzz to provide the inspiration for our new construction; carefully adding my own unique touches to already great designs showcased from homes featured by Houzz. By following trends and mixing in Texas heritage, we have created our own version of one-of-a-kind custom homes to include aging in place to child friendly spaces, telecommuting enhanced offices, low maintenance yards/splash pools and even spaces for four-legged for “spoiled pet” family members. We’re on our fourth new construction/remodeled home we call “livable/sellable” investment homes. We live in them and sell them roughly every five years for a profit; money we can’t make in the current stock market. None of our homes have remained on the market more than a week and all have made 20-30% profit (since we general contract the projects ourselves). Thanks to following the trends and research on Houzz; we’ve created a great source of income, a challenging yet rewarding hobby/career and we get to live in a well designed and comfortable stylish home we’re proud of.

3. 3/5Fun to look through, but...

   I enjoy looking through Houzz to get ideas from the photos or solutions to problems on the different forums, however... 1) The search function is average at best. If you search for something like “basement laundry” you’ll see photos of that plus lots of unrelated pics. It seems the more specific your search, the more “off” the results are. 2) Lately and with increasing frequency, the attached information under “learn more” is for a different property, and probably one you looked at previously. Its like the previously viewed information won’t clear out. 3) Considering there are supposedly millions of photos posted, I keep seeing the same ones over and over. 4) I don’t know that I would ever dare to post a question on a board, as the people answering (pros and lay people alike) can be particularly snarky or unnecessarily harsh. A woman asked about thoughts on paint color for her kitchen, and was told by respondents that she had too much stuff on her counters, her word signs were awful, and her back splash didn’t properly coordinate with her counters. And it kept going even after she very graciously included a little background information about some of her design choices. It was a very nice kitchen by anyone’s standards, but the people replying (which included pros) were just rude. There seems to be no monitoring of the site at all.

4. 5/5Productivity Saver & Therapy at the Same Time!

   I have shared this app with friends, family snd even strangers I notice browsing home improvement magazines at the store. Everyone thanks me profusely. I have a house that was built in 1932 that has charm and strong bones. However, as it is approaching 100 years old, there are many features that need to be updated. I don’t want to simply replace but improve. Working a full-time and demanding job leaves little time to explore all the possibilities that I could do with my space. Perusing through Houzz always gives me many ideas, solutions, as well as contractors who can actually do the work. Time saved means less stress to getting home projects done. My sister uses it similarly, but also confided that she often looks through the pages as a way to calm herself before entering a doctor or dentist visit. LOL!

5. 1/5Unresponsive

   We placed an order on May 17 and got a confirmation that it would be shipped by May 22 and delivered by May 30. We ordered from Houzz vs another vendor because we could get the merchandise so soon. There was no indication on website or in our confirmation that there may be COVID-19 related delays like some companies have posted on their sites. Our delivery date passed and on May 24 I emailed Houzz asking for a status. Auto response said a response may be delayed 4-5 days due to COVID-19. I tried calling and was on hold forever and hung up. 5 days passed and no return email so I emailed again on May 30, the day we were supposed to receive our order. I asked for an order cancellation. It is now June 4 and I’ve still not received an email response but noticed my credit card got billed. I didn’t receive an email notification saying my order had been shipped, though I was promised one in my order confirmation email. I logged into Houzz and sure enough my order finally updated to “shipped.” We tried calling and using chat function and those are no longer being manned. We requested an order cancellation again, this time on the website because that was now a selection on the page. Order says it will be here by 6/11, well past the date when we needed it and it was delivered after we asked for cancellation. It doesn’t appear they are manning email either. I will not be shopping with Houzz again.

   I'm locked behind a "Confirm your post code" because this app doesn't have my country. You could've either removed it for my country or just add every one.

   Absolutely the best Interior Design site thus far hands down.Informative, clear presentation, descriptions designs are perfect with cor schemes. They offer details most buyers don't know or think to ask questions about. Making a home isn't easy but this app makes me feel better about the future of Architecture Designs of the interior for generations to come. BRAVO 👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   This is not a designing app where you can "design" add, or move things, it is a bunch of pics to give you ideas no more. if thats what you need then great 👍
