Frequently asked questions

What is the best countertop material for a kitchen?
Quartz is the most popular choice on the North Shore — durable, low-maintenance, and non-porous. Granite and quartzite offer natural stone looks with high heat resistance; marble is classic but needs more care. We help you pick the right material for your use and budget.
How much do countertops cost installed?
Installed countertops typically run about $60 to $200+ per square foot depending on material — quartz and granite mid-range, premium quartzite and marble higher. Price includes fabrication, edge profile, templating, and installation.
Do quartz countertops need to be sealed?
No. Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing — routine cleaning with soap and water is enough. Natural stones like granite, marble, and quartzite need periodic sealing, which we will explain for your chosen material.
What countertop brands do you carry?
We work with Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone quartz, plus a wide selection of granite, quartzite, and marble slabs. Visit our Lake Forest showroom to view full slabs and current selections, or call (847) 681-9000.
Can you replace just my countertops without a full remodel?
Yes. We can replace countertops as a standalone project — we template your existing cabinets, fabricate the new tops, disconnect and reconnect the sink and fixtures, and install. A fast way to refresh a kitchen or bath.
