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.

Beveled subway tiles in bath remodel

9 years ago

I used beveled subway tiles around the tube but my concerned that they will hold water that will get into the grout if we put them on the little seat at the end of the tub. He wants to use the counter top material but I'd like to keep the uniformity of the subway tiles.

    Counter top material yes. Beveled tile on a seat never. IMO
