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.

What are the countertops?

    The countertops are a limestone slab. Limestone isn't as durable in the kitchen as other counter materials. If used, be prepared to have them sealed regularly and resurfaced/polished occaisionally. If there are kids still in the house, I would advise using a more durable stone or product like Ceasarstone
