"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
The easiest way to calculate a countertop's square footage is to divide your countertop into squares and rectangles, then multiply the length and the width of each piece in inches before adding them together and dividing by 144.
The resin should be periodically sealed to help prevent it from wearing down or becoming porous. Very sharp or very hot objects can damage the resin surface, and there’s no way to fully repair it if that happens, so we recommend treating the counters well.
Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over an existing laminate countertop, which can save you time and money while updating its appearance. The process is similar to installing laminate directly onto particle board. First, clean the existing countertop thoroughly. Next, fill and sand any cracks or damaged areas. Then, you'll need to sand or scratch up the entire surface to help the contact cement or glue adhere properly. After applying the adhesive, you can install the new laminate layer on top. If you're looking for other ways to improve your existing laminate countertops, you could also consider painting them or applying an epoxy finish.
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.
New countertops can last for anywhere between 15 and 50 years, with the exact lifespan depending on the material:
Quartz: 50 to 100 years
Marble: 50 to 100 years
Granite: 50 to 100 years
Laminate: 15 to 20 years
Concrete: 20 to 30 years
Tile: 40 to 100 years
Keep in mind some materials are more likely to stain and chip than others, which is an important factor to consider when it comes to the longevity of your countertops. Some materials also need special cleaning and maintenance, like tile countertops, which need grout cleaning, and concrete countertops, which need resealing.
