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.

    It's hard to tell from your pic. It could be quartz or marble.

    Hey Charles. Thanks for your question. The countertops in this project are SileStone Lyra quartz. Please let us know if we can be of assistance with your project. Thank you!

    Thanks. Do you have any experience with "Super White"? I understand it is a quartzite -- less porous than marble and more "natural" looking than quartz. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

    Yes, we use quite a bit of Quartzite in our projects and yes it is less porous than marble and more natural looking. I'm not familiar with Super White Quartzite, the super white I know about is actually a marble. However, the quartz materials have come along way in the last year to 6 months and there are some niche boutique quartz manufacturers that make some killer products that even the trained eye would guess natural. If you want more info don't hesitate to call me 205-366-0807 x 102 Jay Young, CKD. Thanks!
