FAQs

We offer a range of natural stones including granite, marble, onyx, and soapstone. We also provide engineered stones like quartz. Each stone type has its own advantages in terms of durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements.

When selecting a stone, it's important to consider durability, resistance to stains, heat tolerance, and aesthetic appeal. For kitchens, granite and quartz are excellent choices due to their robustness. Marble, while requiring more maintenance, offers a luxurious look that's particularly suitable for bathrooms.

Most natural stones, such as granite and soapstone, have excellent heat resistance. However, engineered stones like quartz may discolor when exposed to extreme heat. We recommend using trivets or heat pads to protect all stone surfaces.

Stain resistance varies among stone types. Properly sealed granite resists stains well, and quartz typically comes with manufacturer warranties against staining. Marble is more porous and can stain if not maintained properly. Regular sealing is crucial for protecting natural stone surfaces.

For granite and marble countertops, we recommend sealing every two years. Quartz countertops, being non-porous, do not require sealing.

While stone countertops are durable, they can chip or crack from heavy impacts or improper installation. Our professional installation and repair services help minimize these risks and address any issues that may arise.

The cost of stone countertops varies based on material and project size. Granite and quartz typically range from $55 to $80 per square foot. Marble may be priced higher. We provide free, project-specific estimates and offer remnants at lower prices for smaller projects.

For routine cleaning, use a gentle soap and water solution or cleaners specifically designed for stone. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools as these can damage the sealant or the stone surface itself.

The installation process typically takes one to two days after measurements and fabrication are complete. The entire process, from initial templating to final installation, usually spans two to three weeks, depending on the project's complexity.

We provide warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Many quartz countertops come with manufacturer warranties, and we offer guarantees on the quality of our installation work.
