Quartzite countertops are often confused with quartz countertops, but quartzite countertops are a separate, naturally occurring stone that is quarried in a similar way to granite countertops. Many people look for durability in a natural stone surface.
Like granite, quartzite leans toward the hard side of natural stone, so that means it won’t wear down or develop problems in the short term. There are many varieties of quartzite. Some are harder and others are a bit softer. Sealing usually needs to happen once a year, but there are some that need it more often. While that’s something you can do yourself, it’s still a factor when thinking about this material.

Quality Upgrades
STAIN PROTECTION WARRANTY
Our stain warranty protects your stone for 15 years. If anything should stain it, we will come out to fix it. If for some reason we can’t fix it, we will replace the stone. If the stone is no longer available we will replace it with a stone of equal value. It’s a great piece of mind for your investment.
DRESS SEAM
Industry standard seams come together with a polyester resin that keeps them from separating. The resin can be matched to the color of the stone, but the seams are still visible and can be felt. With a Dress seam, we miter where the two pieces come together and smooth out the seam by hand, making it much smoother and much less visible. During installation our installers go back over the seams to make sure they are as smooth as possible.
CHIP MINIMIZER
Our sink chip minimizer comes in handy for those little “accidents” where a pot or pan hits the edge a little too hard, causing a chip. With the sink chip minimizer we will come out and repair the edge around the sink any time you get one of those little chips. A one time repair can cost you $160 or more with each trip. This is definitely worth the upgrade!
LAYOUT/VEIN MATCHING
There are a lot of granite and quartz products that have veins that run through the slabs. With a Layout/Vein Match we take photo’s of your slab and lay them out in our design program so we can match up those veins for you or put precise areas of the stone on specific tops. Our designer will have you come in and view exactly how your slab will be cut and laid out.
TEAR OUT AND PLUMBING
We can tear out your old laminate, solid surface or stone tops, along with backsplash if you choose to use the same product. We can coordinate your plumbing needs, including disconnect and reconnect of sinks and cooktops.
SINKS, FAUCETS AND FIXTURES
There is no need to shop around, we can coordinate your sink, faucets and fixtures for your project as well saving you time and making sure everything will be ready for your install.
