GUIDE 01 · MATERIAL
Quartz, quartzite, granite or marble?
The honest version: all four look good on day one. The difference shows up in how much attention they want afterwards, and how they behave in a kitchen that actually gets used. Here is what we tell people at the measurement visit.
GUIDE 02 · PROCESS
How long is my kitchen out of use?
Shorter than most people expect. The old countertop comes off and the new one goes on in the same visit — the part that takes time is everything before install day, and none of that touches your kitchen.
01
Free measurement and estimate
We come to your home and capture exact square footage, cutouts and edge profile on site, then give you a written estimate. Removal of the old top and the install date are planned in the same visit. Free on weekdays between 8 AM and 4 PM.
30–60 MINUTES AT YOUR HOME
02
Material selection, online and in our facility
Browse the slab library from home, then come to our Springfield facility and choose the actual slab going into your kitchen — not a sample chip.
YOUR KITCHEN: IN USE
03
Design and fabrication
Seams, cutouts and the edge profile are planned before anything is cut. Cutting, edge work and finishing happen in our own shop — nothing is handed to an outside shop.
YOUR KITCHEN: IN USE
04
Installation
Old top out, new top in, sink and faucet reconnected by the trades we always work with. We walk the finished job together before we leave.
THE PART THAT TOUCHES YOUR KITCHEN
05
Care and maintenance
You keep the care instructions for your surface and a number to call. Sealing intervals and everyday cleaning are written down for you.
AFTER THE INSTALL
Every timeline depends on the slab, the size of the job and the trades involved. We give you the schedule in writing with the quote, and if a date moves we are the ones who tell you.
GUIDE 03 · CARE
Living with your surface
None of these need special products. What they need is the right habit — and knowing which spill to wipe straight away.
Quartz
EVERY DAY
Warm water and a little dish soap. Nothing else is required — it is non-porous, so liquids sit on the surface.
KEEP AWAY
Bleach, oven cleaner and abrasive pads. Hot pans straight from the stove — use a trivet.
NOW AND THEN
Nothing. Quartz does not need sealing.
Quartzite
EVERY DAY
Mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.
KEEP AWAY
Acidic and abrasive cleaners; they dull the polish and wear the sealer down.
NOW AND THEN
Reseal periodically, like granite. Water that darkens the stone instead of beading is the sign it is due.
Granite
EVERY DAY
Mild soap and water, dried with a cloth so mineral spots do not form.
KEEP AWAY
Acidic cleaners such as vinegar or lemon-based sprays; they wear the sealer down.
NOW AND THEN
Reseal periodically. Water that darkens the stone instead of beading is the sign it is due.
Marble
EVERY DAY
Soft cloth, warm water, pH-neutral soap. Wipe spills the moment they happen.
KEEP AWAY
Lemon, wine, vinegar, tomato and coffee left standing — acids etch the polish.
NOW AND THEN
Reseal, and have the polish refreshed if etching appears. Marble can be restored.
You keep the care instructions after install, along with a number to call. If something happens later, you reach the same person who ran the job.
