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.

    Hi katpic, thanks for your question. The counter stone in this kitchen is soapstone. We recommend a leathered finish vs. a honed finish in kitchens to better protect against stains. We invite you to browse the rest of our projects on Houzz, as well as follow our Pinterest boards for more design inspiration. Thanks & we appreciate your inquiry.
