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.

Granite sink?

13 years ago
Wow - this is amazing! I am getting a black granite sink too, but worried it may get/look dirty - someone told me it is a lot of maintenance and need to clean after each use. Can you comment on this and what do you suggest? Love your look here. We are doing white, and want to make the black sink work like you did. Thanks!

    Definitely, black appliances and countertops will need more maintenance, but in reality you need to clean any sink after each use whether it is light or dark colored or stainless steel to make it look spotless. We have many customers who go with a black granite composite sink, like Swanstone, and they are really happy. If you are really picky, then it may bother you, otherwise, all white with a black sink will look beautiful and dramatic.
