"Easy to Learn with Helpful Support—Clients Love the 3D Renderings and Selection Sheets"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

It’s easy to use and straightforward to learn on my own. Houzz offers great tutorials, and the service techs are helpful whenever I have questions. My clients really love the selection sheets and the 3D renderings. They make it easy to share my design vision, and everything is super clear for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

There’s a lot to learn, and it can feel overwhelming at times. The leads from the software haven’t been great, and when I do get leads, they’re often shared with several others in the same line of work, which makes it harder to stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Invoicing with Convenient Online Payments"
5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I use Houzz Pro mainly for invoicing and estimates for my Door and Window Company. I appreciate that it allows me to send clients detailed invoices and estimates based on their needs. What I like most is that my clients can pay online. The initial setup was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

Keeping track of the finances isn't as straightforward as I'd like. I would appreciate a simpler section where I can manually write how much I'm selling the item for, my actual cost, my profit, and how much the client has already paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takeoff Tool Shines, Rest Needs Improvement"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I find the take-off tool in Houzz Pro kind of neat. The takeoff tool is probably the best feature for me. I like being able to trace the space and get dimensions and measurements; that's nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

The rest of the software is kind of clunky. I think they could improve a lot on the budgeting tool and the change order tool, the invoicing tool. You can't do a negative value in a change order, which is stupid. Editing your invoices after they've been sent isn't possible, and there's no option to void and resend an invoice even though the instructional videos show the option.I get a lot of duplicate entries that link to my QuickBooks, which is very annoying. The drawing tool is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Communication, But Setup Needs Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I really like the embedded ability to communicate with clients and keep a record of communication all in one place. It saves confusion from a client emailing or calling one person and that person having to communicate the info to the rest of the team. With Houzz Pro, all of the communication is in one place and accessible to everyone. It's convenient because everyone can see the information without having to track it down. The robust estimating system and the AI assistance are features I appreciate a lot. I also enjoy the embedded options for taking room scans and easily uploading photos of the project to the customer account. These make managing customer leads, projects, and jobs more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

The technical instructions on how to set up the workflow could be more robust. We haven't found instructions that are step-by-step regarding data entry and flow. The invoicing portion could benefit from being more clear on the proper flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Estimates, Schedules, and Invoices That Just Work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I am still learning all the ways I can use Houzz. I mostly use it for estimates, schedules and invoices. I like that everything is tied together and makes sense from a broad view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

I am not a big fan of the cost. When I first signed up for Houzz several years ago, I thought the cost was reasonable, albeit pretty high. Now the cost has gone up a couple times and there isn't much I can do about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward Proposal-to-Invoice Workflow That’s Served Us Well"
5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I have used the proposal to invoice to p.o. System for 8 years and it’s served me well. Very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

I want the sales tax reporting and input to be very straightforward and tailored to my reporting agency so that at the end of the quarter, I can download a report and know exactly what info goes into each box on the tax filing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient for Project Management, Needs Better Reporting"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Houzz Pro?

I think my favorite thing about Houzz Pro is creating estimates and having them approved, then turning those directly into invoices for payment. It's a pretty intuitive program, making it easy to use since I've been using it for a long time. I like having all of my documentation in one spot and being able to log in from anywhere. I could see a lot of information, even the ones I don't use like estimated revenue and estimated profit. I find it very useful that I can generate a quote request as well. It makes it really easy to track everything and have access to it from anywhere. Plus, I love that the documents are connected, allowing me to see where payments were made and how much they were for. It's a really good way just to track everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Houzz Pro?

I think some of the bigger things that I wish it could do is better reporting. I could go into my reports, but there's just a few basic reports that I can find here. I'd love to be able to break down the reporting differently. It's not great for taxes and expenses and doing things like that. It would be also nice to be able to pay subcontractors using Houzz Pro. Like, if there was a way to have a section for having my subs, I could put those in here as well and make payments through here. They could track their time and create a request, like maybe a billable time or something like that. The item tracking might have been a little bit convoluted, but I think it was probably just me trying to figure it out. I don't really use the 3D floor plans because I have separate software for that. I don't really think it's as useful to me. Contracts would be nice to have, but that's more on the contractor side, I guess. Daily logs, change orders, I don't really use those either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
