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.

    Thank you for your question! No, that is not black mortar, it is the standard white, but with the back lighting appears dark. Theoretically, a good installer could smear black grout over the white after it was dry, but I wouldn't make any guarantees on its longevity.
