Choosing well

Quartz, Granite, Marble & Quartzite Countertops

Every countertop material offers a different combination of appearance, durability and maintenance. Our team helps homeowners choose surfaces that complement their cabinetry, flooring, backsplash and overall design.

  • Quartz Countertops

    Quartz countertops offer excellent durability, consistent patterns and low maintenance. Because quartz is non-porous, it does not require routine sealing and is a popular choice for busy kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Granite Countertops

    Granite countertops provide natural variation, excellent heat resistance and long-term durability. Each slab has its own color and pattern, making granite a popular choice for homeowners who want a natural stone surface.

  • Marble Countertops

    Marble countertops provide distinctive veining and a timeless high-end appearance. Marble requires more care than quartz or granite because acids and spills can etch or stain the surface.

  • Quartzite Countertops

    Quartzite countertops combine natural stone beauty with impressive strength and heat resistance. They are an excellent option for homeowners who want dramatic natural veining with strong everyday performance.

Questions

Countertop Installation FAQs

Which countertop is best for a busy kitchen?
Quartz is the most forgiving because it is non-porous and does not need sealing. Granite and quartzite handle heat well and need periodic sealing. Marble is beautiful but etches from acids, so it suits homeowners who accept some patina.
How long does countertop replacement take?
Once the slab is chosen, fabrication typically takes one to two weeks, and installation is usually a single day. Being without a sink for a day or two is the only real disruption.
Can you replace countertops without replacing the cabinets?
Yes, as long as the cabinets are sound and level. We check them at the site visit and shim or reinforce where needed before templating.
Do you install outdoor countertops?
Yes. For outdoor kitchens in Texas heat we recommend granite or a dense quartzite, since some quartz can discolor in direct sun.
How much does countertop installation cost?
Countertop pricing depends on the material, slab size, thickness, edge profile, number of cutouts and complexity of the installation. Quartz, granite, marble and quartzite all have different price ranges. We provide a detailed estimate after reviewing your project and measurements.
Do you install countertops in both kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. We install custom countertops for kitchens, kitchen islands, bathrooms, vanities, wet bars, laundry rooms and outdoor kitchens throughout North Dallas and the surrounding DFW area.
