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.

    I’m not the designer but it seems you could use whatever you want to get that look. Least expensive would be wood painted matte black. Or honed black granite. You could try soapstone but it would not be a solid black.
