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.

Carrara marble finish?

2 years ago

Are these kitchen countertops honed or polished?

    Thanks for your question, they're honed. We find honed finishes look good for longer as they don't show wear in the way that gloss finishes do.

    Thanks for your response. I realized I've asked two questions now about the same kitchen, which is my sign to go ahead with these counters! You do gorgeous work! Thanks.
