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.

    This is a kitchen we built; the island dimensions are 114" x 64" and is [custom] made of rustic knotty alder by Rob Estrada at Lakeshore Home Gallery in Lakeway, Texas - just outside of Austin. Very durable; because it is sealed, it is waterproof, but not used as a cutting board. Cleaned with soap and water, like a piece of furniture.
