Palo Alto, Calif., June 5, 2013 – Houzz, the leading platform for home remodeling and design, announced the latest version of its 5-star rated iOS app, which includes several new features to enhance collaboration among users.

  • Collaborate with friends, family, professionals and others involved in the remodeling process via ideabooks
