"Marble & Granite Masters did a great job installing our quartz kitchen countertops. Chris was perfect with the measurements and patient with us in making a final decision between 2 styles in the showroom. In-home and in the showroom, all COVID precautions were taken, so no worries there. Slab was fabricated even faster than estimated and installed a week later. On budget and ahead of schedule!! Loving our new countertops, would definitely recommend MGM!!"

"They were careful to make sure no damage was done to the above balcony or any of the other boards/stucco they were in contact with. They did a great job and left the site as clean as they found it. Nice to know there are people out there who will come in and do these smaller projects at a reasonable price."

"Such a positive experience having our wood floor repaired! We are having our kitchen remodeled, and the floor under a built-in hutch had to be laid, and planks under a refrigerator (that had a leak!) had to be repaired. Vern and Raul did absolutely OUTSTANDING work. We enthusiastically recommend them!"

"I highly recommend Contractor Adrian Lamb owner of Affordable Builders. I needed to find a contractor who could replace a mid-century bathtub/shower with a walk-in shower for my elderly parents and I needed the job completed as soon as possible. I contacted Adrian who graciously agreed to provide a quote on a Saturday morning. He was very professional and patient with our ideas and questions. He explained all options for our project and provided a quote including project scope later that same day. He also provided several different places to select the specific tile that my parents were looking for. The tile was selected. I notified Adrian who agreed to travel to two different locations to pick up the materials. The project started on the following Thursday as agreed at contract signing. Adrian was in constant communication responding to additional questions and providing updates. Project was completed in one week which is exactly what was promised. The shower is absolutely amazing and my parents are very happy with the workmanship of the finished project. Affordable builders worked in a very organized fashion, keeping materials, tools and all areas clean and safe throughout the project. My father asked that additional painting be done and Adrian obliged without hesitation. Overall, I highly recommend Affordable Builders for any bathroom remodeling needs. Affordable Builders provides quality workmanship at a fair price. A 5 star rating only because that is highest rating available. Sincerely, Guillermo Lopez"

"Ryan, the owner and project manager, was extremely responsive and great at communicating with me for all the work throughout the entire project. The price was fair and the work was on time, on budget and of high quality. I'm reasonably knowledgeable about the construction of a deck, and so was able to get a very detailed estimate and plan together by collaborating with Ryan at the beginning and throughout project. The nucave crew and even the subcontractors were similarly friendly; they showed up on time every day, worked hard, and cleaned up when the left. The only reason for a B rather than an A rating was that there was a bit of a SNAFU during the layout work at the beginning that led to a portion of the deck not being positioned exactly how I had wanted it, but Ryan was able to work with me to mostly resolve it and the project continued smoothly from that point forward. I would work with Ryan and Nucave again."

"

My Husband and I are doing a total home remodel. We were looking for a company that would work with us on our kitchen remodeling project. We found Mr. Cabinet Care.  They helped us select different door styles, stains and counter top materials. The quality of their product was top notch. Their service was exemplary. We ended up with a kitchen design that looks really great. They saved us from having to deal with the nightmares of remodeling. We are very happy we chose this company!

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

No, you don't have to apply polyurethane to butcher block countertops. Polyurethane sealant is a long-lasting finish for a butcher block counter, but its application also requires thoroughly sanding the surface multiple times. Other materials, such as mineral oil, require less work but must be applied more frequently.

Learning how to clean different types of countertops can help them look new for longer. Use a gentle cleaner on recycled glass countertops to avoid damaging the binding agent. Avoid harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners, which can damage the surface and shorten its lifespan. It’s also best to keep acidic cleaners away from countertops that use a concrete binding agent, as they can stain the surface, leaving it looking dirty and drab.

Small kitchens benefit from simple, blunt countertop edges, as complicated edges can create visual clutter and be more of a hazard if you bump into them. Eased edges are a top pick for small kitchens because they are simple, do not jut out, and do not take up additional space. Bullnose edge countertops are also popular because of their rounded design; they are elegantly simple and will not be sharp when you bump against them. Single-beveled edges are also a good choice, as they look a little more upscale but still have rounded edges for safety and simplicity.

Start your search for a reliable countertop contractor online, and look for companies that have high ratings from past customers. Check each of these companies on the Better Business Bureau website and rule out any that have a high number of complaints or an overall low rating. Next, contact the remaining companies and ask for a list of references and examples of past work. It’s best to choose a provider that has references that are still pleased with the work years later and one that provides professional-looking examples of how it serves its customers.

Yes, you can generally put hot pans directly on a granite countertop without worrying about cracking, as it is a durable, heat-resistant stone that can withstand high temperatures. However, it is still highly recommended to use a trivet or hot pad as a precaution. Prolonged or repeated exposure to high heat can potentially cause discoloration or damage the countertop's sealant, making it more susceptible to staining. Additionally, the heat from a pan can transfer to the granite, creating a burn hazard for anyone who touches the surface shortly after.
