Quartz vs Granite Countertops: Which One Is Best for Your Kitchen?
How the two compare on heat, stains, sealing and Florida sun, and which one suits the way you cook.
Countertop guides and stone care tips from our Boynton Beach shop: how quartz, granite, quartzite and marble compare, what to look for in a slab, and what happens on installation day.
All Guides
Six guides, newest first. Pick the one that matches where you are in planning your new kitchen countertops.
How the two compare on heat, stains, sealing and Florida sun, and which one suits the way you cook.
Remnants for small tops, buying direct from the shop that cuts the stone, and which materials give you the most for the money.
Marble-like veining on a natural stone that is harder than granite, plus where it works best and how to care for it.
What our crew does from the moment the old tops come out to the final cleanup, and how to get the kitchen ready.
Templating, planning the cuts on the real slab, edge profiles and sink cutouts, step by step, before the stone reaches your home.
Finish, thickness, veining and where the seams land: what to check when you choose a full slab over a small sample.
Materials
Heat, sealing and sun decide more than color does. Start this buying guide with the comparison, then meet one of the most requested stones in our showroom.
From Slab to Install
Three guides that follow one project in order: choosing the slab, cutting and finishing it, and the day it goes in. The same crew that templates your space installs it.
Budget
We price by the square foot, so the size of the piece, its thickness and the layout all move the number. This guide shows where there is room to save.
Showroom Visit
A guide can narrow it down. The slab itself is best chosen in person, standing next to it.
Walk the racks at 2114 Corporate Dr, with 500+ slabs of all four materials on site, and bring a cabinet door or a paint chip to hold against them when you visit the showroom.
Three quick steps. We reply with pricing for your slab and your layout.
