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.

    The house has white trim and casing so I usually do white, dark brown or stainless steel in the kitchen depending on backsplash and paint colors. I usually never do beige. Just a personal preference. I don't care for the look of Beige.

    Who installed the backsplash? I asked for Rona to install this and they said they could not because the outlets would have to be moved outward otherwise the outlets would be sunken in. So I am still looking for someone to install or considering a different backsplash.

    Yes that is true. Our electrical moved them out so our installer could install them.

    I've heard grease splatter and other splatter can get in the cracks and cause mold/cultures. Do you know anything to protect against this?

    You can seal it with a sealer to protect it.
