Common Questions
What is Level 3 quartz?
Quartz is sold in quality 'levels' based on pattern complexity, color, and manufacturer. Level 3 offers premium patterns and colors, not basic white or simple designs. You'll have attractive options to choose from without paying for exotic selections.
Can I upgrade to granite?
Yes. If you prefer natural granite over engineered quartz, we can price the upgrade. Keep in mind granite requires periodic sealing and has natural variations that some people love and others find challenging.
What about the kitchen island?
Islands are included in the countertop scope. If you want a different material or waterfall edge on the island, let us know and we'll price it accordingly.
Do you install the sink?
Yes. Undermount sink installation is included with countertop installation. We coordinate with the plumber to reconnect the plumbing after the countertops are set.

Care & Maintenance
Keep your stone looking new
Six routines that determine whether your counters look great in year ten the same way they did in year one.
Wipe spills immediately
Acidic foods and drinks (tomato, citrus, wine, coffee, vinegar) can etch marble and dolomite. Clean them up right away.
Especially for Marble + Dolomite
Use protection
Coasters, placemats, trivets, and cutting boards prevent the three things that age a counter fastest: stains, heat marks, and scratches.
Choose the right cleaner
Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner or mild dish soap. Never use vinegar, bleach, lemon, ammonia, or abrasive scrubs. They strip sealer and dull the surface.
Treat stains carefully
For oily stains or other set-in spots on granite, talk to your fabricator before applying anything. The wrong remover can etch the stone permanently.
Especially for Granite
Reseal when needed
Apply sealer on the schedule your fabricator recommends. Quick test: splash water on the counter. If it stops beading and starts soaking in, it's time to reseal.
Material-specific notes
- Marble & Dolomite
- Avoid acids; use trivets for hot pans.
- Quartzite & Granite
- Durable, but still wipe spills promptly and reseal on your fabricator's schedule.
- Engineered Quartz
- Very hard, but not heat-proof. Never put a hot pan straight from the stove onto quartz.
When in doubt, ask your fabricator for product-specific recommendations.
