Countertops
There are so many options for your kitchen countertops on the market nowadays. While granite countertops are
definitely the most popular option, it maty not always be the most cost effective, We offer a wide variety of options including soapstone, marble, quartz, and others.
Granite tends to be the most desirable option for a homeowner when selecting a countertop for the home. Since each slab has its own unique look and feel and every quarry only has a finite amount of of supply, every selection is considered a limited edition. The only thing left to do after it is collected is cutting into specific shapes and finishing.
It's no question that granite is the most durable and long-lasting of its counterparts, and arguably the most beautiful. It is scratch and heat resistant, ranging from light to dark and perfect for indoor and outdoor spaces. It is harvested directly from the earth's crust and hand selected to make it's way from our shop into your home. We want to make sure and give you all your options when selecting tops for you kitchen or bathroom, but there's no denying that granite is always a safe bet to meet and even exceed your expectations.

We strive to always offer the best guidance we can in helping you find what you need for your kitchen remodel or new home installation.

One thing is for sure in the countertop industry if nothing else: granite is king, it always has been. That being said, quartz is quickly becoming a close competitor. Due to its cheaper price and its wider range of colors and options, quartz countertops offer a strong alternative to the typical granite option. While maybe not quite as durable or as visually appealing, quartz does have strong pull with lots of new and existing homeowners.
Range of options is probably the strongest argument for selecting a quartz countertop. Because it is crafted with quartz chips and resin, you are not only confined to colors that occur naturally like you are in a granite slab. It is a great compromise between solid surfacing and natural stone, and like granite, is actually very durable and scratch/stain/heat resistant. It is very easy to clean and will absolutely rival granite in terms of durability.
While it is technically a manufactured material, usually about 90-95% of quartz countertops is made of quartz while the other 5-10% is binding resin. This resin is what can be utilized to produce different shades and colors, giving you a wider selection of options for you kitchen or bathroom.
At one time, the main criticism with quartz was that it lacked the natural look that you get with a granite slab, but with modern technologies quite accurately depicting natural stone nowadays, it's essentially a moot point.
