"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!!"

"We changed our oven from a free standing model to a slide in. The counter top was cut for the stove, and there was no backsplash behind the previous stove. We wanted a more built-in look with the new stove. Julie did a fabulous job. She tiled the wall behind the new stove and used a leftover piece of our solid countertop to fit all around the new stove - and even into a window inset. We couldn't have been happier with the result. She cared a lot about what she did and had really good suggestions. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again for another job."

"Response to your messages really fast and did the whole job within a week. Our countertop was a small job that was difficult to find anyone willing to do it. They had tiny left over slabs at a reduced price that help cut costs for small project. The crew that came to install did so very fast a professionally. Had lots of experience and knowledge. I will be recommending their service to anyone looking for quality work at an affordable price."

"They did a good job. We purchased the Angie's Deal for new granite countertops for $1499. Of course we ended up choosing a higher priced granite, needing more granite square footage than the deal covered, and upgrading the sink for additional cost. They also needed to move up the electrical outlets to accommodate for the new 6 inch granite backsplash. Bryan and his team did the entire job in 2 days and were great. One thing to mention is that they do not hook back up the sink after the job. They were very clear about that in their estimate. We called a separate plumber for that the next day. Overall, very happy with my counters. Now if someone else would just do the cooking in there!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

The standard kitchen countertop height is 36 inches, so a 37-inch countertop should work fine. However, if you’re 5’4” or shorter, a 37-inch countertop might be too high. Ideally, the countertop will be three to four inches below your elbows.

Countertop resurfacing or refinishing can extend the life of your countertops for an additional 5 to 10 years. The longevity depends on the quality of the materials, the amount of wear and tear, and how well the countertops are maintained. To maximize their lifespan, avoid heat damage by using hot pads or trivets, use cutting boards to prevent scratches, clean with non-abrasive cleaners, and wipe up spills promptly.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

A minimum overhang of 10 to 12 inches is generally recommended for countertop or island seating to provide enough legroom. For increased comfort, an overhang of 15 to 18 inches is ideal, allowing for more space and a relaxed experience. However, a 10-inch overhang can be sufficient in certain situations, such as for bar-height countertops, when using small stools, or in smaller kitchens where space is limited. Taller countertops may also require less overhang than shorter ones. Ultimately, you should consider your specific needs for legroom and measure to ensure the overhang fits comfortably within your kitchen's layout.

Undermount sinks have clips that attach to the countertop, but they have pros and cons. They are heavier than drop-in sinks, so they only work with sturdy countertops like natural stone and are a more expensive option. You might need someone to help you install the sink, depending on its weight.
