Countertops that anchor the room

Granite is a natural stone, so every slab has a one of a kind pattern and it stands up very well to heat. Because it is natural it is porous and should be sealed now and then. Quartz is engineered from natural quartz and resin, which makes it non-porous, very consistent in color and easy to keep clean with no sealing needed. Granite appeals to people who love natural variation, while quartz suits those who want a uniform look and low upkeep. We walk you through both in person.

For a hard working kitchen most people are happier with quartz. It resists stains and scratches and does not react to acidic foods like lemon or wine. Marble is softer and more porous, so it can etch and stain with daily kitchen use. Marble is stunning and many homeowners still choose it for the look, but it asks for more care. We help you weigh that trade off for how you actually cook.

Quartz and granite are both excellent. Quartz is non-porous and very hard, so it shrugs off stains and scratches. Granite is extremely hard and handles heat especially well. Marble is the softest of the three and needs the most care. The best choice depends on how you use your kitchen, and we are glad to talk it through.

Yes. Because granite is a natural stone it should be sealed so it resists stains, and the sealer is refreshed from time to time. It is a quick task, not a major chore. Quartz does not need sealing at all because it is non-porous.

Granite handles heat very well, though a trivet is still smart to protect the sealer. Quartz can be discolored by sudden high heat because of the resin that binds it, so we recommend a trivet or hot pad with quartz. We go over care tips for whatever material you choose.

Popular options include a built-up edge, which gives the look of a thicker top without the extra weight, and a waterfall edge that carries the stone down the side of the island toward the floor. We can show you samples so you can picture the finished look.

In most cases yes. Through our suppliers, including Leadstone, Stone Park USA, Alleanza Quartz and Earth Stone and Tile, we have access to a wide range of colors and patterns. If you have a slab or a photo in mind, bring it and we will help you find the closest match.

After we template and measure, fabrication and installation usually move quickly. Timing depends on the material and the size of the job, so we give you a clear schedule once we have seen the space. We keep the process tidy and leave the kitchen ready to use.

We work with both homeowners and general contractors. If you have a contractor or builder, we fabricate to spec and coordinate templating, delivery and scheduling directly with their team. If you do not, we handle the installation through our affiliated licensed contractor, so your project still runs as one job from first measurement to finished install.

Cabinets are handled by our sister company, Cabinets Direct, a wholesale kitchen and bathroom cabinet supplier in our building on the Black Horse Pike. Many customers plan the cabinetry and the stone together in one visit, which keeps the finishes matching and the whole kitchen on one schedule.
