Stylish countertops built for daily life

Marble countertops

Marble is known for elegant veining and timeless character. It works especially well when you want your countertops to become a focal point.

Because marble countertops are softer and more porous than many materials, they require additional care. Spills should be cleaned quickly, and periodic sealing may be recommended.

Quartz countertops

Quartz combines versatile style with easy upkeep. This engineered material is nonporous, stain-resistant, and does not require routine sealing.

Quartz countertops come in a wide range of colors and patterns. They can provide a simple, consistent appearance or recreate the dramatic veining of natural stone, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms, and other busy spaces.

Quartzite countertops

Quartzite combines natural beauty with impressive strength. Many slabs have flowing veins and soft colors similar to marble while providing a harder surface.

Its durability makes quartzite countertops well-suited for busy kitchens. Since quartzite is a natural stone, periodic sealing is generally recommended to help prevent staining.

Porcelain countertops

Porcelain countertops offer excellent resistance to heat, stains, scratches, and moisture. Designs range from understated colors to realistic interpretations of marble, concrete, and other natural materials.

Its durability and simple maintenance make porcelain a strong option for kitchens, bathrooms, and contemporary spaces.

Soapstone countertops

Soapstone provides a smooth texture and rich, natural appearance. It is nonporous and naturally resistant to heat and stains, so sealing is unnecessary.

Soapstone is softer than granite or quartzite and can be scratched. Many homeowners appreciate these marks because they contribute to the stone's natural patina.

Countertop edge profiles

The edge profile puts the finishing touch on your countertop design. Straight and eased edges provide clean lines, while beveled edges add subtle detail. Rounded profiles create a softer appearance, and decorative ogee edges can complement traditional cabinetry.

Our designers can help you choose an edge that works with your kitchen countertop material, cabinetry, and overall room style.

Choosing your countertop color

Countertop color can create contrast or bring your entire design together. Whites and creams keep rooms bright. Gray, greige, and beige provide versatile neutrals, while black countertops create dramatic contrast.

Natural stone introduces even more variation through veining and mineral patterns. Our 3D design services can help you see how kitchen countertops coordinate with cabinets, flooring, backsplashes, and other finishes.

Countertop finishes

Polished finishes are smooth and reflective, often making colors and veining appear richer. Honed finishes create a softer, matte appearance with less shine.

Some natural stone countertops are also available with leathered or textured finishes. These options add dimension and can create a distinctive, organic look.

Countertop maintenance tips

Good countertop care starts with simple habits. Wipe spills quickly and clean surfaces with a soft cloth and a cleaner approved for your material. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads that could damage the finish.

Use cutting boards rather than cutting directly on countertops, and place trivets beneath hot cookware. Granite, marble, and quartzite may require periodic sealing. Quartz and porcelain generally need less maintenance because they are nonporous.
