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.

Wood countertop

13 years ago
Could you share the type of wood used for the countertop? Is it durable or more decorative?

    Hi Danielle. It is a walnut countertop, and yes, it is durable. Maintenance of a wood countertop is a bit more time consuming than a stone or concrete countertop; however, a wood countertop is extremely aesthetically appealing and ideal in some spaces (baker's prep area, dining counter, food chopping block, etc). Best of luck!
