Hello Houzz,
My Name is Tony Guidotti.
32 Year veteran General contractor HIBM Construstruction
I Recently opened up a account with house and everything I’ve seen thus far is absolutely fantastic. I’m really looking forward to getting to know my way around and exploring all that HOUZZ has to access for my self and my customers. That being said, the people that make house what it is today have really hit a home run.
I feel that I scored a huge opportunity for me to grow personally, professionally and financially with Houzz giving me a leg up on my competition.
