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.

Stainless steel bench tops.

10 years ago
Are they really easy maintenance? Love the look but need assurance about scratches and scuffing.

    Stainless steel bench finishes are very durable and will last forever. However they do scratch and this is quite noticeable when the bench is new. Over time the scratches join up and are just part of the character. One alternative is a textured finish which hides scratches but is harder to clean.
