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.

Kitchen backsplash

10 years ago
We are installing our backsplash and are not sure whether to have it rise to the cabinet base or to ceiling...

    Because of the side panels on the upper cabinets, installing tile to the ceiling would be more difficult. Tile to the bottom of the uppers, and sideways to the door frame, using a small trim piece if necessary. BTW, very pretty cabinets.
