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.

What is the counter top material/

    Hi Nancy, the counter top is Cosentino-Silestone, color: "Lagoon". The client wanted the look of carrera marble, but, as you may know, marble is not a good choice for surfaces that get water and spills. Silestone is 94% quartz and is very durable. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the counter is fine-grained white, with very natural-looking mottled gray areas. Hope this helps. Regards, Rob Raymond, AIA
