QUARTZ
Quartz countertops are no longer the kitchen’s best-kept-secret. They have become one of the most popular choices on the market. Made of a blend of approximately 95% quartz and 5% resin, these countertops come in a limitless number of beautiful designs and colors and, best of all, laugh in the face of stains, scratches, and chipping. Because they are not a natural stone, they are non-porous. Therefore, liquids and bacteria will not penetrate its surface. You can count on their safety and sustainability for years to come. Quartz maintenance is probably one of its best attributes. Why? All you need is a quick wipe with mild soap and water, and they’re back to their shiny fabulous selves – no special potions or yearly sealing required!
Soapstone
Soapstone has become a very popular choice over the past five years. Soapstone is a natural material made of talc, chlorite, and dolomite and it gets its name from its smooth, soapy texture, but it is actually very hard. It’s also famous for its beautiful lived-in aesthetic. Its appeal suits many home styles, from farmhouse to urban. Most often, its color range is from gray to black with white or gray veining. It’s resistant to staining, heat, chemicals, acid, and mold and is 100% eco-conscious! It never needs to be sealed. With a periodic quick application of mineral oil every few months, your soapstone countertops will develop a dark patina and enhance the natural aging process over time.
Granite
Granite countertops are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their exceptional durability and timeless appeal. Granite is a natural stone formed as magma deep inside the earth. Each slab is unique, boasting a variety of colors and patterns that can enhance any kitchen or bathroom design. Known for its hardness and resistance to scratches, heat, and acid, granite is an excellent surface for daily cooking and entertaining. Its popular finishes are honed, antiqued, and polished, all adding a luxurious touch to any space, making it a centerpiece in home design. While granite countertops require periodic sealing to maintain their luster and protect against stains, the effort is minimal. With proper care, granite countertops can remain stunning and resilient for decades, making them a wise investment for any home.
Marble
Marble countertops are a luxurious and elegant choice, renowned for their stunning veining and sophisticated beauty. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone, and while it is slightly softer than granite, marble provides a unique charm with its smooth, cool surface, making it ideal for baking and pastry preparation. The natural elegance of marble adds a high-end appeal to any home, reflecting a unique character and sense of refinement. Maintaining your marble countertops will require a bit more due diligence, as they are prone to staining and etching from acidic substances. Regular sealing and gentle cleaning are essential to preserve their pristine condition. With the right care, marble countertops can become a lasting statement piece in your home, combining beauty with functionality.
QUARTZite
Quartzite countertops are an excellent choice for those seeking both durability and natural beauty in their home surfaces. Quartzite is a natural stone formed from sandstone and subjected to intense heat and pressure, resulting in a hard and dense material. Its durability rivals that of granite, making it highly resistant to scratches and heat, ideal for busy kitchens. Quartzite's appearance is often characterized by its striking, marble-like veining and a wide range of colors, providing a sophisticated and elegant look to any space. Despite its robust nature, quartzite does require periodic sealing to maintain its resistance to staining. Quartzite countertops offer a stunning and practical solution that can elevate the aesthetic of any home while standing up to daily wear and tear.

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER STONE TOP INSTALLATION
CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INSPECTION OF THE ACTUAL MATERIAL PRIOR TO WORK COMMENCEMENT. BRIAN’S FLOORING IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THE PURCHASER DOES NOT INSPECT THE MATERIAL BEFORE THE INSTALLATION.
- Prior to the laser template date, please remove all items sitting on your countertops. This must be done only by the homeowner and before the template tech arrives.
- Please clean off countertops and remove drawers prior to installation. If you desire to empty your cabinets you may, but it is not necessary.
- Installation will be noisy and dusty.
- Tear-out of your existing countertops may rip dry-wall paper or bust existing tile splashes. This is unavoidable sometimes in demolition/construction projects.
- We may ding, scuff, and/or scrape walls and/or cabinets due to the necessary tight fit of the countertops. You may need to use some touch-up paint after installation is complete.
- We may need to cut drywall for the stone to fit and align properly. This should be hidden by the countertop or the backsplash.
- We may have to remove door trim, shelving, or other obstructions to get countertops onto the cabinets.
- Your cabinets may be unfinished behind existing countertop drop edges.
- Your walls may be unfinished behind existing countertops or splashes.
- The install crew may have to turn your water off in order to remove your existing sink. The plumber will turn this back on at the plumbing hook-up.
- Upper cabinets sitting on countertops may need to be cut around the bottom for the thick stone countertop to slide underneath.
- We always install stone countertops level so there may be gaps between the stone countertops and your cabinets due to unlevel cabinets.
- Stone splashes are straight and do not bend. Walls typically have some bow so there may be gaps between the stone splash and the wall. This may require an extra caulk application by the homeowner due to the initial caulk application possibly 'sinking' once it dries.
- The install crew may have to make a return trip to your house for stone splashes that are to fit under mirrors, windows, or bar tops.
- Bath faucet plungers that pull at an angle may hit tight against stone splashes. Your plumber can pull your faucet forward to create more room.
- Stone is typically cut to be flush to cabinets around freestanding stoves. There may be a gap between the stone countertop and your stove after installation.
- If you have chosen a Granite, Quartzite, or Marble top, you will need to apply a sealant once it is installed. Brian’s is not responsible for this.
