Countertops are an essential component of kitchens and bathrooms; they are used on a daily basis, withstand significant wear, and frequently play an important role in the overall design of the space. A poorly fitted countertop can cause uneven surfaces, obvious seams, water damage, and even structural difficulties, all of which can reduce the value of your property and require costly repairs.

Our locally owned and operated team focuses on precision during installation, ensuring that the countertop fits properly with your cabinetry and appliances, resulting in a smooth and polished finish. We also pay close attention when handling your countertops, as materials such as granite and marble are hefty and unforgiving. This means that, if not handled properly, they can crack, chip, or shift over time. Our team understands how to properly support these materials, how to account for changes in wall and cabinet alignment, and how to lock everything in place to prevent long-term movement or damage.
When you contact us about your countertops, we will take the time to answer any questions you have as well as ask a few of our own to fully understand your needs. From there, after ensuring we have accurate measurements, we can explore your options regarding countertop materials and create a tailored plan that works best for your home.

What countertop materials are the most durable?
Granite is one of the most durable countertop materials, with strong resistance to heat, scratches, and everyday wear. However, it does require periodic sealing to prevent staining. Concrete countertops are also sturdy and long-lasting, with great heat and impact resistance but it is important to know that they also require frequent sealing and could develop hairline cracks over time. Another durable option is tile countertops, which are heat and scratch resistant. Still, you will need to maintain the grout lines between the tiles, as they can stain.
How should I clean and maintain my countertops?
It is best to avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or abrasive pads, as they can dull finishes or harm seals. Instead, use warm water and mild dish soap, which are suitable for daily cleaning on most surfaces. As mentioned above, stone worktops, such as granite—and also marble—will need periodic sealing.
How can I choose the right countertop for my lifestyle?
It is important to consider how you use your kitchen or bathroom. If you cook frequently and want to keep things simple, concrete is an excellent choice. If you like the beauty of natural stone and don’t mind that it needs to be sealed now and then, granite or marble is an excellent investment.
