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.

    Caracara Oro, it's an Italian marble. They also used slab material of Calacatta Oro for the backsplash as well (not tiles). Sealing will help with staining, but anything acidic will dull your polish instantaneously. Scratching and aging, creating an aged patina look, will defiantly occur. Chipping can occur as well.
