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.

Love the backsplash. Is it sealed?

    The clients don't tend to use their stove for many 'grease' items, so the application wasn't a problem; however, it is a natural stone which is porous by nature. It is recommended you seal any porous material in this application, after it's installed.

    Is the stacked stone a lot more labor intensive than traditional tile backsplash?
