My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Travertine tile

12 years ago
I was told that this is not a great tile to use in the northeast b/c of the humidity. It is much more common in the south but not the best choice in this area. We are renovating a master bath and do not want the issues of mildew here in CT. Any thoughts?
