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.

Mortar color for tuckpointing

last year


My fireplace is almost done (below). I was hoping to get a light grout for this Casa Di Sassi Bianco blend stone. We have white Spec mix which includes regular colored sand. I originally thought it would be the white I was hoping for. Looking at it where it is coming through from the scratch coat really isn't even close to that. I know it will lighten some, but no way to the white I see above. So do I keep the regular white or go to the white color with white sand? The picture above is the same same stone, with obvious different lighting etc.

    Stone is actually lighter than the photo, but I could only do so much with my cell phone camera. Happy we went with the whiter grout!
