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 Countertops

6 years ago
I don't know if you are the right person to ask, but I am considering using marble tops in my next kitchen but so many people in the business try to talk me out of it. Do you know how hard it is to upkeep? I don't think I mind the aged look.

    I have marble. Would not do it again. If you don’t mind your new kitchen looking “lived in” after 3 months, go for it. Lol.

    Would you mind sharing a picture of the marble counters . I want to see what “used” is like in order to make up my mind.
