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.

    Does mesquite stain well in a dark finish? I'm interested in having mine refinished...

    Mesquite does stain well in a dark finish. It will always have a red undertone and some dark colors look better that others. Try something with a slight green undertone and it will help cancel some of the red out.

    what company makes the English chestnut stain that was used?
