we're here to help

Nope! Our showroom and slab yard are open Monday through Friday 9am-4pm, with no need for an appointment. Our design consultants are ready to assist! If you prefer to shop on a Saturday, feel free to give us a call to schedule an appointment.

Shopping for your perfect stone countertop should be fun! You don't need to bring a thing, but if you have any inspiration photos, cabinet colors, paint swatches, or tile samples, feel free to bring those in with you! Our design consultants will help guide you in your stone journey to find the perfect fit for your budget, aesthetic and lifestyle. If you have measurements that you've taken yourself, floorplans, or cabinet layouts, feel free to bring those in as well.

When measuring existing cabinetry, the current countertops should be completely cleared of any items and appliances before the measure can proceed. When measuring new cabinetry, the cabinets must be installed and secured in their final resting place before the measure can proceed. Any customer-provided sinks are required to be onsite, along with cooktops, faucets, and additional appliances that could impact the fabrication. Changes after measure may incur additional costs and delay the installation date.

Before the our installers arrive onsite existing countertops should be clear of items or appliances. Ensure you have scheduled a licensed plumber 24 hours after installation to re-connect your plumbing.

The short answer is: Microfiber Cloth + pH-Neutral Dish Soap and Warm Water.

Always Avoid: No matter which stone you choose for your countertops, it is always best to avoid using abrasive products, such as SoftScrub or Comet as well as abrasive pads like Magic Erasers or Scotch Brite. You should also avoid oil-based soaps, dyes, lemon juice, vinegar, citric acid, ammonia, vinegar, paint thinner, acetone, nail polish, lacquer thinner, or bleach.

Sealing your natural stone countertops is simple and is a crucial step to protecting your countertops from potential stains. While sealers don't make your stone "stain-proof", they do make the stone more resistant to stains.

You can buy a natural stone countertop sealer at most hardware stores also known as "impregnators". Follow the steps on your specific sealer, but generally sealing your countertops goes as follows:

You can determine a proper seal by utilizing the "droplet" test. Apply a droplet of water on the surface. If you observe the droplet "sitting" or "beading" on the surface, you've sealed your countertops properly. If the water droplet is absorbed, you'll want to repeat the sealing process until your countertops pass the "droplet" test.

All natural stones must be sealed. Our installation team will seal all natural stones upon countertop installation, but the homeowner will need to re-seal them appropriately to help prevent stains and improve cleanability. Additionally, use coasters, trivets, and placemats to protect surfaces from scratching, etching, and staining. Wipe up spills promptly to minimize staining and possible etching.

Not sure if your countertops are ready to be sealed again? You can determine a proper seal by utilizing the "droplet" test. Apply a droplet of water on the surface. If you observe the droplet "sitting" or "beading" on the surface, you've sealed your countertops properly. If the water droplet is absorbed, it's time to seal!

Don't do it! We always advise the use of a cutting board as knives can damage natural and engineered stone, though this is especially true for softer natural stones like marble, dolomite and calcite but also for engineered stone like quartz.

As lovers of all stone surfaces, we advise to avoid placing hot pots on any stone surface. This is particularly true with quartz, as temperatures above 150 degrees can scorch the surface of the quartz countertop, which is not repairable. Technically natural stones can withstand higher temperatures, but we say "why risk it"?!
