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.

What material are the countertops?

13 years ago
Can you tell me what type of countertops these are? They resemble marble, but the coloring is different; beautiful!

    Looks like marble, but is probably quartz. Quartz counter tops are better than granite, as far as stain resistance goes, but are often more expensive.

      It's definitely statuary vein marble ($$$$)

      Calacatta. Probably a version of Calacatta Gold, Borghini in our area.

      This does not look like quartz. I believe it is calacatta marble!
