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.

    The island material is white fantasy quartzite-
    Unfortunately it does not look like this anymore-

    What do you mean by 'it doesn't look like this anymore'? Quartzite should be pretty resistent to stain/scratching. Please tell us what happened as I have a couple of clients about to install quartzite in their kitchens. Thank you.

    Sorry I wasn't clear.
    This specific quartzite does not exist anymore.
    At least that is what I have found.

    Have you been able to find anything similar to this stone? We are looking for Super White/White Fantasy in this particular look.

    You can find white fantasy quartzite but it has larger areas of grey in it.
    I am not sure where you are but check out quartzite material from Marble and Granite Supply in Niles, Illinois.
    You can see pictures on line for names of some of the whiter quartzites.
