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.

    Hi Nancy, The counter top is Mesori black with a "leathered" finish. Clients wanted lower maintenance granite so there is no polish the surface is slightly textured like a stone slab, very cool stuff!

    Most fabricators should be able to "leather" granite. We don't recommended the "honed" finish as clients have not found it to their liking once under use.

    Thanks!

    John, I've heard that leathered black granite is difficult to clean and keep clean. Have you had this experience? thanks!
