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.

    do you know what kind of finish/glaze it is? I would like the non shiny effect. What do I use for the finish coat to protect the cabinets?

    TIA
