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.

Grout is wrong color!!

8 years ago

My new Carrara marble kitchen backsplash has pale yellow grout! The contractor used the bathroom grout instead of the one for the kitchen. The entire wall is finished. Can it be painted, stained, anything???

    I would have the contractor redo it with the correct color grout, after all it is his mistake.
