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.

Marble Questions!

13 years ago
How does the darker marble hold up in a kitchen? Is this honed or polished? Considering this for my home, just concerned about kids and staining/etching!
Thanks

    This is Emperador Dark Marble. It has a polished finish. Marble has inherently more upkeep than granite. It is softer and more porous so it can stain easily. Wipe up spills quickly. But it is VERY beautiful!
