Our Material Selection: Quartz, Granite, Solid Surface, and Laminate
Whether you're renovating a home or professional setting, we deliver standards-meeting countertop solutions in granite, quartz, laminate, and solid surface to align with your performance and budget targets. You'll get materials vetted for quality, sanitation, and building codes. Quartz delivers uniform patterns and easy care. Granite features natural movement, heat resistance, and unique slabs. Solid surface offers unified installation, flowing backsplashes, and refreshable finishes. Laminate delivers budget-friendly options, diverse designs, and dependable service in light-duty zones.
We help you with determining substrate compatibility, thicknesses, and Edge profiles that satisfy load requirements and safety standards. Choose from beveled, eased, bullnose, or mitered edges to balance impact resistance and ease of cleaning. We verify chemical resistance, slip resistance at edges, and NSF options for food service requirements.
The Complete Installation Process
Before we cut a single slab, we map out your project with a comprehensive, code-compliant plan that limits delays and complications. We start with a thorough inspection to verify specifications, clearance requirements, foundation integrity, and entry routes. We document utility connections, power sources, and ventilation points to eliminate problems and comply with local codes.
After that, we handle timeline scheduling. You'll receive a complete schedule aligning demolition, templating, fabrication, and installation, ensuring smooth coordination with other contractors. We create precise templates, validate seam placement, overhangs, and support requirements, before manufacturing with finished edges and precise cutouts according to your specifications.
On installation day, we shield the floor areas, set and level base units, preliminarily place surface pieces, secure them according to specifications, seal all seams, and reconnect fixtures as allowed. To complete the process, we thoroughly clean, perform a detailed inspection, and guide you on proper care and warranty information.
Professional Countertop Restoration for Worn Surfaces
Revitalize worn surfaces with our expert refinishing service, designed to enhance beauty, durability, and hygiene avoiding a full replacement. We inspect your countertop’s substrate, seams, and ventilation needs, then set up the area with OSHA-compliant masking and HEPA dust control. Our surface restoration process eradicates etching, stains, and micro-scratches, ensuring proper adhesion.
We fix chips with color-stable fillers, conduct exact color matching, and use an industrial primer followed by a thick topcoat rated for safety in food contact. Peripheries, wall returns, and sink reveals are given detailed attention for consistent sheen and protection. You’ll enjoy a polished, non-porous finish that defends against moisture, heat, and household cleaners. Most projects wrap up in 1 to 2 days with minimal disruption, prolonging your countertop’s life at a small percentage of replacement cost.

Upkeep Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty
Just as meticulously we bring to installation, we provide guidance to preserve your countertops looking and performing like day one. Promptly wipe spills by applying pH-neutral cleaner and a microfiber cloth; steer clear of abrasive materials that can damage sealants and finishes. Adhere to manufacturer schedules for resealing; for busy kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays on stone countertops to enhance stain resistance in between full seal coats. Utilize cutting boards to preserve edges and stop micro-chipping.
Heat protection is essential. Never set hot items directly on surfaces, as heat shock might lead to surface damage. Position silicone mats near cooking areas and coffee stations. Ensure grout and caulk seals remain solid-inspect every three months and repair separations to maintain water protection. For professional repairs, contact our team; we specialize in color-matched repairs, honing services, and warranty-compliant finishing.
