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.

Seam my island?

3 years ago

Im building a new home, and had originally planned a large 11’6’ x 4’ island. I recently learned quartz will come in 10’ slabs, which means a seam (the stone would be book matched) or smaller island. Should I downsize or have a seam?

Book matched seam
Smaller island
