Welcome to Houzz
We provide the best experience for home building, renovation and design, connecting homeowners and home professionals with outstanding resources and vendors.

Houzz started with a house.
When founders Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen found themselves in the midst of a frustrating renovation experience for their own home, they knew there had to be a better way.
So they built Houzz. What started as a side project has now grown to a community of more than 70 million homeowners and home design enthusiasts, and over 3 million building, remodeling and design professionals around the world.
As the leading platform for home remodeling and design, Houzz provides the only all-in-one project management and design solution for industry professionals and tools for homeowners to update their homes from start to finish. Our mission has been the same since day one: to provide the best experience for home renovation and design, connecting homeowners and home professionals with the best tools, resources and vendors.
There’s no place like Houzz.
