What is the difference between quartz and natural stone countertops?

Quartz countertops are engineered using a combination of natural quartz and resins, making them non-porous, highly durable, and available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Natural stone countertops, such as granite and marble, are cut from slabs of stone and have unique, natural variations. While quartz is more resistant to stains and scratches, natural stone offers a one-of-a-kind look with natural veining and patterns.

How long does the stone fabrication and installation process take?

The process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. This timeline includes selecting the stone, templating, fabrication, and installation. For larger or more intricate projects, additional time may be needed for custom cuts and details.

How do I maintain and care for my stone countertops?

Maintenance varies depending on the type of stone. For quartz countertops, simply use mild soap and water to clean, as they are non-porous and do not require sealing. Natural stones like granite and marble should be sealed periodically to prevent staining and can be cleaned with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on all stone surfaces.

Can you provide a cost estimate for a custom countertop installation?

The cost of a custom countertop installation depends on several factors, including the type of stone, the size of the area, edge details, and any additional custom features. We recommend scheduling a consultation so we can provide an accurate estimate based on your specific needs and preferences.

Do you offer a warranty on your stone products and installations?

Yes, we offer manufacture warranties on both our stone products and installation services. The warranty coverage depends on the type of stone and the specific product chosen. We stand by the quality of our work and products, and we will address any issues that arise within the warranty period.
