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.

Design Dilemma

Kitchen sink size

9 years ago
I have decided on a single basin aluminum sink. My present sink is only 20" wide. I guess the Max width of my new sink will be limited by whether I have a 36" or 24" base, correct?

If so, any general guidelines? Thanks so much.

Any other thoughts?
