In Virginia, particularly around Norfolk, kitchen remodeling projects involving quartz countertops proceed through distinct stages. We begin with a site assessment at your home to measure the existing cabinets and understand your layout. This is followed by a selection process where you choose your specific quartz slab from our inventory. We then handle the fabrication of your countertops, cutting and shaping the quartz to precise dimensions at our facility. Finally, our installation team transports and secures the new quartz countertops onto your cabinets.
Common questions
Which is better, quartz or granite?
Quartz offers a non-porous surface, meaning it resists stains and requires less sealing compared to granite. This makes it a low-maintenance option for busy kitchens in Virginia homes. Granite, while natural, can be susceptible to staining if not properly sealed and maintained.
What is the downside of granite countertops?
Granite is a natural stone, which means its appearance can vary significantly from slab to slab. It is also porous and requires regular sealing to prevent stains from penetrating the surface, a concern in humid Virginia climates. Accidental chips or cracks can also be harder to repair invisibly on granite.
What is the fake granite called?
The material often referred to as 'fake granite' is typically quartz, a manufactured product. It mimics the look of natural stone like granite but is engineered for consistency and durability. Quartz countertops offer a predictable aesthetic for kitchens across Virginia.
How much is a 10 ft piece of granite countertop?
The cost of a 10 ft piece of granite countertop depends on the specific granite chosen and any edge detailing or fabrication required. Factors like the rarity of the stone and the complexity of the cuts influence the overall investment. We provide a personalized quote after assessing your project needs in Norfolk.
What is the best countertop for the money?
For many Virginia homeowners, quartz presents a strong value proposition due to its durability, low maintenance, and consistent appearance. While the initial investment can be higher than some materials, its longevity and resistance to common kitchen issues often make it cost-effective over time. We can discuss your budget and recommend suitable options.
What is the downside of granite countertops?
Granite's natural composition means it can absorb liquids and stains if not regularly sealed, a point to consider for kitchens in humid Virginia. Its weight also requires sturdy cabinet support. While beautiful, granite demands more upkeep than some engineered materials.
