Upgrade Your Kitchen with brand-new Countertops

Nothing dates a kitchen quite like old countertops. One of the most impactful upgrades you can make is to replace them with new, stylish materials. Whether you want the classic elegance of marble, the durability of granite, or the maintenance-free style of quartz, our quality countertop options will transform your kitchen. Our knowledgeable team will guide you through the different options, helping you select a material and color that match your taste and lifestyle.

What To Consider When Choosing A Countertop Material

Replacing your kitchen countertops is a crucial part of any kitchen remodel. Not only do your countertops complete your kitchen design, but they also need to withstand the daily chaos of your kitchen activities. So, which material is right for you?

The best way to choose the right countertop is to match your kitchen's needs with the available materials. Consider everything from your cooking style to how much time you're willing to spend on maintenance. Some materials require regular re-sealing, some are vulnerable to stains and high heat, and others might easily scratch or chip. Carefully considering how you use your kitchen will ultimately help you select a material that’s perfect for you.

Durabilityexpand_more

Countertops are often the centerpiece of kitchen design so it’s important that they not only look beautiful, but also withstand the day-to-day workload of a busy kitchen. Common durable countertop materials include

  • Granite
  • Marble
  • Quartz
  • Slate
Sealing Requirementsexpand_more

To prevent absorption of liquids and bacterial growth, porous materials like limestone and quartzite require a surface sealant. Often, they must be re-sealed over time to ensure the layer of protection.  If you are not interested in re-sealing your countertops over time, it may be good to avoid these extra porous materials.

Heat Resistanceexpand_more

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a countertop material is heat resistance. Some materials are specifically designed to resist high heat, allowing you to place hot pots, pans, and dishes directly onto your countertops. Granite and slate countertops are two of the most heat tolerant countertops.

Stain Resistanceexpand_more

Kitchens can be messy places, and we all know that spills happen. Be sure to take into account how many unexpected spills occur in your kitchen before choosing a countertop material.  Some materials, such as marble, are highly vulnerable to indelible staining.

Appearanceexpand_more

The most obvious factor you should consider is the appearance of the countertops you want. While it may be easy for you to decide what color or look you’d like, it’s important to be aware that some materials come in limited colors, while others have wide ranges. You should also note that some materials like onyx can be backlit to highlight their coloring while others like soapstone naturally darken as time passes.

Priceexpand_more
Your budget is probably a big factor in your countertop selection decision. Be aware that certain materials – or even certain colors of those materials – may be rare and cost more. Using price as a filter can help you narrow down which material is the best choice for your countertop replacement.

Brighten YOur kitchen with a brand-new backsplash

Your kitchen should reflect your home and personal taste. Whether you prefer light and bright or deep and contrasting colors, our talented team of designers can help you achieve the perfect look for your kitchen with a new backsplash. We emphasize that we do not offer one-off backsplash installations; instead, we integrate backsplashes as part of a comprehensive kitchen remodel to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality.

Backsplash Heightexpand_more

The function of a backsplash is to protect your walls during cooking and prepping meals, but they also carry a lot of style. For a striking backsplash, carry your material to meet the upper cabinets or even carry it all the way to the ceiling to create an accent wall. 

A slab backsplash is very popular and is easy to clean. A tile backsplash is great for an accent wall but is also more budget-friendly than a solid slab. 

Countertop Styleexpand_more

Durability, color, and pattern are the most important factors to consider when choosing your countertop material. Quartz, marble, and quartzite are popular choices in kitchens today. Marble is a classic choice that exudes luxury, but keep in mind that marble will need to be resealed to maintain its appearance and function. Quartz is a great alternative to marble for its durability, vast color options, and its ability to mimic the veining in marble that homeowners love.  

Focal Pointsexpand_more

A room without a focal point can feel bland and even cold. For your kitchen design, there are many opportunities for creating a dynamic design with a striking focal point to give your space a dose of personality. 

Your kitchen island, the cabinets, and paint color are often thought as opportunities for a focal point, but don't overlook the power of a great backsplash. 

A backsplash in a bold color against a muted overall palette will give your space a striking look. A slab backsplash is the epitome of luxury. Artisanal tile that available in a wide array of colors and patterns, like Zellige tile or hand-stamped tile, will show off your unique style.

Backsplash Functionexpand_more

Backsplashes are used to create a unique style but they also serve an important function. Your backsplash is there to protect your wall from everyday kitchen messes so it should be easy to clean. 

Materials like glass and ceramic are easy to wipe clean, but you'll also want to consider the grout and sealant to ensure a stain-free surface. Marble is gorgeous and highly favored by many homeowners, but expect more maintenance to keep your backsplash looking great in the long run. 

 

Backsplash Priceexpand_more

When you're researching materials, colors, and patterns for your backsplash update, don't forget to look into costs. More budget-friendly options will be glass tile or ceramic tile. Today's options offer every color, shape, and pattern you could dream of, making your kitchen update unique to your style. 

Natural stone backsplashes, like marble or slate, are higher in cost and maintenance but offer an unmatched style. If you'd like to invest in a luxury backsplash but want to keep your remodeling budget balanced, consider choosing budget-friendly options in other places, like semi-custom cabinets or midrange light fixtures.

Joe the salesman was very professional and helpful. They kept me informed about the status of my order. Once they got all the parts they scheduled an install date and were in and out in 3 days. I love my new bathroom.
