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.

What type of solar tube is that?

9 years ago
I am intrigued by the non-circular solar tube. Also, how is it positioned with respect to the island and counter top?

    It is a skylight, and it is centered over the sink.

    Thanks ! And does the skylight run along the length of the counter or perpendicular to it? Couldn't make out from the picture ( or is square?).

    It is square, actually.
