Quartz Countertops
Engineered, low-maintenance, and consistent, the popular all-rounder.
Quartz is engineered stone, natural quartz combined with resins and pigments, which makes it nonporous, highly durable, and consistent from slab to slab. It's the most popular choice for busy kitchens because it resists stains and never needs sealing.
We work with leading quartz brands like Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone. Because the pattern is engineered, what you see in the sample is what you get in your kitchen, a big advantage if you want a specific look.
One note: quartz isn't the right choice directly around a fireplace firebox, because its resin binder doesn't love sustained heat. For everything else, kitchens, vanities, islands, it's hard to beat.

A note on Quartz and fireplaces
We do not use quartz directly around a working fireplace firebox. Quartz is engineered with a resin binder, and sustained heat can discolor or damage that resin over time. It is exactly the kind of detail that protects your investment.
For a fireplace surround we use heat-appropriate natural stone, like granite, marble, or quartzite, instead. We are happy to walk you through the right choice for your space.
