Granite countertops

Granite is a natural stone known for rich color, movement, and one-of-a-kind patterns.

Granite countertops are durable, heat-resistant, and well-suited for kitchens, bathroom vanities, laundry rooms, bars, and outdoor living areas. Because granite is porous, it should be sealed as recommended to help prevent stains and moisture absorption.

Quartz countertops

Quartz is an engineered surface made with natural quartz and durable resins. It offers consistent color and pattern, making it easier to create a coordinated design.

Because quartz is non-porous, it resists stains and does not require sealing. Quartz countertops are easy to clean and available in styles ranging from solid colors to bold marble-inspired veining.

Quartzite countertops

Quartzite is a natural stone that combines dramatic beauty with impressive strength. Many varieties resemble marble while providing greater resistance to scratches and heat.

Its natural veining creates a high-end look for kitchens, bathrooms, and islands. Quartzite countertops usually require sealing, but proper care helps preserve their beauty.

Porcelain countertops

Porcelain countertops offer a sleek look with excellent performance. They resist heat, stains, scratches, and UV exposure, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

Porcelain slabs can resemble marble, concrete, stone, or wood. Their thin profile and large format also suit modern kitchens, waterfall islands, and wall panels.

Soapstone countertops

Soapstone has a smooth feel and timeless appearance. Because it is non-porous, it naturally resists stains and bacteria.

Over time, soapstone develops a rich patina. It works especially well in farmhouse, rustic, and traditional spaces. Although soapstone countertops can scratch, minor marks can often be sanded or blended into the surface.

Which countertop edge profile should you choose?

An eased edge creates a clean, simple appearance. Bullnose and half-bullnose edges feel softer and more traditional. Beveled edges add subtle detail, while ogee edges create a decorative look.

Mitered edges can make a countertop appear thicker. Waterfall edges extend the material down an island for a bold, modern statement. Our designers will help you choose an edge that complements your countertop, cabinetry, and the rest of your room.

How do you choose a countertop color?

Light countertops can brighten a room and make it feel larger. Dark colors create contrast and drama. Warm neutrals add comfort, while bold veining can turn an island or vanity into a focal point.

In our showroom, you can compare countertop colors with cabinetry, flooring, tile, hardware, and appliances. This hands-on approach helps you build a coordinated design and avoid guesswork.

Which countertop finish is best?

A polished finish has a glossy surface that highlights color and veining. A honed finish creates a smooth, matte look with less reflection. A leathered finish adds subtle texture and depth.

The best finish depends on your style and how you use the space. Our team will explain how each option looks, feels, and performs.
