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.

Do your honed/matte black counters look clean?

9 years ago

I wanted a matte finish for black perimeter counters but the stone installer warned me they would show every finger print/water splash etc. I would assume if I wipe them down with countertop spray they will look good? Does anyone have any thoughts on this.

My choices are U Quartz pure black or hanstone Black obsidian(it has a little bit of mirrored sparkle)
