"Yeah, Justin was a nice guy. He drilled a hole in quartz countertop for an RO system. He was in and out pretty quick. He cleaned up the dust, which was minimal. I would recommend this company"
"We had a large crack in our granite countertop by the sink and Arizona Granite is the ONLY company I could find willing to do this repair in the Prescott area. The Tech, Justin was very good at blending In the color & polishing the top to match the shine. In fact the area he was working on has more of a shine than the rest of the countertops. Thinking about having him renew all my countertops.. The repair is practically invisible and is very smooth. Justin is very thorough and did an absolutely beautiful job! We feel lucky to have found him and are so happy with his work."
"We got bids from two providers. Unique was at least $1,000 less. We picked out the slabs and Unique picked them up and took it from there. The quality control process impressed us. We couldn't be happier with our purchase"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
Quartzite is more expensive than granite, largely because of its rarity. Granite is naturally more common. A granite slab generally costs $40 to $60 per square foot (excluding super-rare types), while quartzite slabs cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per square foot.
With both materials, it’s usually more affordable to purchase stones that are readily available in your location. You may need to import other stones, which come at a higher cost.
Solid surface countertops are fairly resilient. You can use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners. You can also occasionally use diluted bleach (around 5 tablespoons per gallon of water) for sanitization. Avoid window cleaners because they leave a waxy film that can dull the countertop’s surface. Solid surface material is nonporous, so there’s no need for sealing.
Avoid using harsh, gritty, or abrasive cleaners and sponges on Formica countertops. This includes steel wool, scouring pads, and strongly alkaline or acidic cleaning products like chlorine bleach, oven cleaner, drain cleaner, furniture polish, or vinegar. These can compromise the surface, leading to scuffs, discoloration, and other damage that will reduce the countertop's longevity. Additionally, never place hot items, such as pots and pans directly from the oven or stovetop, onto the laminate surface, as the high heat can cause it to scorch.
Butcher block countertops typically last around 20 years, and sometimes longer, with proper maintenance. This lifespan is comparable to granite and longer than laminate. Key maintenance tasks include regular cleaning after every use and resealing, ideally once a month. You can also sand and resurface the countertops to remove imperfections like deep scratches, stains, dings, and scorch marks. The longevity is also affected by the thickness of the wood strips used in its construction; thicker strips are generally more durable.
The standard kitchen counter size is typically between 24 to 25 inches wide and 25 to 26 inches deep. Wider countertops are also common, with widths of 30 to 36 inches among the most popular choices. Note that these are just general guidelines, and there is flexibility to custom the size of countertops to suit individual needs and the space.
