Kitchen and Bathroom Countertops
in Chicagoland

Your countertop is the surface you touch, cook on, and clean every single day, so it pays to choose the right one. We carry quartz, granite, marble and quartzite, and we walk you through how each one looks, performs, and holds up, so you can choose with confidence.

Quartz

Quartz is an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals bound with resin. Because it is non-porous, it resists stains and never needs sealing, and it comes in a wide range of colors and consistent patterns. It is the low-maintenance favorite for busy kitchens.

Best for: busy households and low upkeep.

Care: wipe with mild soap and water. No sealing required.

Quartzite

Quartzite is a natural stone, not to be confused with quartz, prized for dramatic, marble-like veining with much greater hardness. It stands up to heat and scratching beautifully and brings a high-end, one-of-a-kind look.

Best for: a natural marble look with more durability.

Care: periodic sealing, clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Granite

Granite is a classic natural stone with bold, unique patterning and excellent heat and scratch resistance. No two slabs are alike, so your counters are truly your own.

Best for: durability and natural character.

Care: seal periodically, clean with mild soap.

Best for: elegance, baking stations, and statement spaces.

Care: seal regularly and wipe acidic spills quickly.
