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.

Soapstone for kitchen countertop

7 years ago
I am choosing between honed or leathered granite and soapstone. I love the look of soapstone and it ties my kitchen together, but everyone who sells it says to stay away because of scratching, and maintenance. Can you give me some information?
