Engineered Quartz
Zodiaq, Hanstone, Caesarstone, Silestone, and Viatera
Comprised of 93% quartz crystal, this naturally reflective material gives engineered quartz a unique depth of color, as well as a subtle sparkle, also a consistency in both color and pattern. Colors range from soft neutral tones to intense reds, blues and whites: colors that are seldom found in natural stone. The smooth, nonporous surface resists even the toughest stains, such as wine, vinegar, tea, soda or fruit or vegetable juices. It maintains its lustrous glass and ultra-smooth surface for many years without sealants or waxes. And it will not promote the growth of mold, mildew or bacteria. In addition to being easy to clean and maintain, it is also nontoxic, chemically nonreactive and hypo allergenic, and virtually no off-gassing at normal room temperatures.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a dense nonporous natural stone. Due to soapstone's thermal qualities, setting hot pots and pans directly on the surface WILL NOT affect the stone. Soapstone does not need to be sealed, preventing annual sealant maintenance as well as a shiny and reflective surface. Since soapstone countertops have an untreated surface, soapstone adds a natural beauty and exclusive look to any home design.

Solid surface
Solid surfacing has been around since 1967 and offers a 10-15 year warranty. Products offered are: Corian, Hi-Macs, Gibraltar, Staron and Mystera. This 1/2" thick surface boasts the beauty of natural materials with easy care and performance. All offer a wide range of color selections, while maintaining the look of real stone or marble. It can be shaped into a variety of designs. Plus, it coordinates seamlessly with available sinks and bowls. From kitchens to bathrooms it's renewable, repairable, bacteria resistant and easy to keep clean.
Laminate
Formica, Wilsonart, Nevamar, and Pionite are all laminates. Laminate countertops offer a classic upscale look. They leave homeowners as happy with the replacement process as they are with the product itself. After an owner selects the color and edge, we measure for the new top. After the new countertop has been constructed, the old one is removed and replaces in as quickly as one day. Laminate provides an attractive cost savings due to the minimized labor and reduced cost of the material. Though it is significantly less expensive then many luxury surfacing materials, it is not less significant in quality. Laminate offers a fashion-forward, durable and ultra-low-maintenance solution to countertop needs.
Back to TopCultured Marble
Onyx and cast granite lends naturally to the bath environment. These cast polymer products offer clean lines, harmonious styling and a nonporous surface that resists mildew and staining and wipes clean with minimal effort. Cultured marble replicates the luster of its natural namesake, while the translucent appearance of cultured onyx imparts depth and sheen; versatile enough to complement an ever widening range of decorating styles and colors. The newest addition is TruStone, a product that uses a photofuzion process to create beautiful images of granite, marble &
travertine, with a high-end look for tubs, showers, vanity tops and more.
Butcherblock
These countertops are a pefect melding of beauty and function. Made from hard rock maple or Appalachian red oak, these natural solid-surface tops impart a warm friendly glow to any kitchen. Chefs prefer butcher block maple for all slicing, dicing and chopping duties. Bakers choose it for prepareation and rolling dough. No other countertop surface offers the functional advantages of butcherblock, and they are priced far below other solid-surface tops.
