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.

      Thanks! The countertops are dark grey corian. I really like the way it looks, but honestly, the scratches show very easily from regular everyday use. I've learned to live with it, but don't think I would do it again. Hope that helps!

      The lighter the corian the less the scratches will show. I have friends who have light colored corian and love it! The material is nice. It's the dark color I would caution against.

      Hi, What a beautiful kitchen! Did you open up the ceiling or did you just add the wood slates? We are trying to get higher ceilings and have thought about opening ours up.
