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.

Countertop conundrum

9 years ago
In the process of renovating our kitchen and we are stuck on countertops...our top contenders are silestone coral clay, silestone lusso, and Allen+Roth sugarbrush. Our cabinets are kraftmaid deveron rustic alder in husk and our walls are Valspar sheep skin rug. Any input is much appreciated!!

    I'm with Patricia for sure. To me, #1 isn't even an option with that cabinet and wall pairing. Too much tone on tone on tone. You need the break of a lighter counter.
