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.

need help with my kitchen

12 years ago
We are in the process of remodling our kitchen. We have decided on white cabinets, and now i dont know what color granite to do and what we should on the floor. I am leaning towards dark color granite, but then i also like dark hardwood. I dont know if we should do tile in the kitchen, and then put hardwood throughout the rest of the house. basically what color granite really goes with white cabinets?

    Pick your flooring you love for the main level. It's the priciest and you have to live with it longer. Then decide on the counter.

    I have uba tuba ( dark) in the kitchen and a light with some brown cream and gray granite in the laundry room ( both white cabinets). I think there are lots of choices.

    Ubatuba is a really great granite if you have white cabinets. It is also lower priced. I attached a picture of the slab.

    Black pearl is another dark color that goes with white cabinets. If you are on a tight budget both black pearl and uba tuba should be costing you $36 per square foot. I personally love absolute black in either a honed or leather finish, but it carries a price tag of around $55 per square foot.
