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.

    I believe the counter top is Cambrian Black Satin granite. A torch is run over the surface in which certain minerals burn up, leaving a textured surface. often called "Flamed" or "Leather".

    Actually, the perimeter counter tops are "Avallon" polished quartz by Pental Quartz. It's non-porous and very durable. My clients who have this in their kitchens are very happy with the ease of care and durability.
