"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!!"

"These guys did a great job. Martin was pleasant and kept everything as clean as possible when cutting our stone countertop to fit our larger sink. Could not be happier with the service."

"Brian was prompt for his estimate, very professional in his approach to the project. The two workers that did the project were also very prompt in their arrival time, very professional and caring while in our home. I will not be needing Home Advisor in the future for any future stone work as I have found a company that I will be using forever. Brians price was much lower than another estimate we recieved but there was no compromise in the quality of the work preformed. Thank You California Marble."

"Jose was friendly, responsive and personable. His experience allows him to easily give solid advice. He recommended a few countertop vendors to find the quartz we chose. We paid for the material separately. JM Tile and Stone took care of picking up the slabs, cutting/gluing/polishing. H Cabinets was our vendor and sold us two quartz slabs, unfortunately one with sun damage that Jose buffed to help equalize the color. I’d advise the purchaser to pick/inspect/approve the slabs before finalizing pickup. Preapproval would alleviate the problem we ran into. Overall the process took a week from start to finish and the kitchen looks beautiful."

"I can't say enough about Ghiloni Granite and Tile. Mike and his team did a superb job installing my new quartzite countertops and tile backsplash. They were punctual, professional and courteous. They immediately placed cloth liners on my wood floors. I really appreciated that. I was also impressed how the team perfectly aligned each piece of quartzite. Mike was easy to work with and readily available to answer my many questions. Their craftsmanship is impeccable and they take great pride in their work. When they were finished they sealed the stone and made sure my kitchen was spotless. I would highly recommend Ghiloni Granite."

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

Granite countertops cost an average of $3,250 compared to $2,250 for tile countertops. Granite is also harder to DIY than tile, given its weight and bulk, which increases the overall labor cost of installation. Over time, both types of countertops may need sealing to remain resistant to water, heat, and other common kitchen elements.

Consider how much and in what way you'll be using your marble countertops. Untreated marble can stain easily and even change color slowly over time. If you're worried about bathroom chemicals or extensive meal prep, opt for a type of marble with more protection against spills.

When it comes to the cost of your marble installation, consider the slab's thickness, overall size, and necessary cutouts for sinks and cabinetry.

The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.

The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.

To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.

While Caesarstone countertops are heat-resistant, placing hot pots directly on them is not recommended. Extreme heat can cause thermal shock, potentially leading to cracks or discoloration. Always use trivets or heat pads to protect the surface and maintain its appearance and integrity. This precaution helps ensure the longevity of your Caesarstone countertop.

Epoxy is typically more affordable than granite, especially if you’re choosing a high-end slab. Most granite countertops cost $75 to $145 per square foot to install, with high-end varieties topping $185 per square foot. 

In contrast, epoxy countertops cost $50 to $150 per square foot to install. The material costs for epoxy are significantly lower than granite, but installation costs can be higher. Rather than simply cutting granite countertops to size before installation, your contractor will need to carefully pour the epoxy over an existing surface.
