"Grind Stone Tops did an absolutely incredible job with my new countertops! From the moment I met their team, I knew I was in good hands. They guided me through every step, from selecting the perfect stone slab to the final touches of the installation. The quality of the material and the precision of their craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The installation was smooth and efficient, with attention to every detail, and the final result is breathtaking. My kitchen now looks like it belongs in a magazine! The seamless edges, the beautiful patterns in the stone, and the overall polished finish are just amazing. Grind Stone Tops did not just meet my vision they elevated it. I could not be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch custom stone countertops!"

"Efrain was very professional and friendly.  He first looked at the project and quoted me a price for material and labor on his first visit.  Materials were paid for immediately as well as 10% of labor cost.  Once the stone was acquired he returned to create a template, at which time I paid an additional 40% of labor cost.  There was a bit of a problem with the way his stone supplier cut the counter to his template pattern and instead of bringing an inferior product he chose to contact me and postpone the install until the stone was corrected.  In two days the improvements were made to the stone and he promptly returned to install.  The stone counter was cut with precision, edges were rounded flawlessly, and overall appearance was excellent.  During the installation Efrain noticed that one small portion of the counter would look a lot better with a small backsplash and offered to cut the stone with remaining material and return to install the following day.  He did return and the addition made a big difference in the overall appearance of the countertop.  On that final day he also offered to help me lift and mount the BBQ grill onto the countertop.  I couldn't imagine the countertop looking any better than it does, picture perfect.  Working with Efrain was very easy and personable.  I personally appreciate the decision he made to call me when he was not happy with the original stone cut, he new I was anxious to complete the project for hosting holiday guests but he did not compromise his reputation and explained the situation honestly.  Efrain is very experienced and I would recommend his services to anyone.

"Israel and his team were excellent. Israel is very responsive and his team was skilled and worked quick. We had a washer leak that caused damage to our laminate flooring. We decided to remove all the laminate flooring and tile, about 1000 sq ft, and replace with vinyl it was demoed in two days and the new vinyl and base boards done in another three. We had several change requests throughout the project and Israel and his guys adjusted quickly to what we needed. The workmanship is very good, his availability and communication is better than most contractors I've worked with and all within a reasonable price. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for home renovation work."

"A fantastic experience from start to finish, BGL transformed our vague intentions into concrete form. We needed a soil and grass lawn converted to a rock garden with undemanding but beautiful flora. An adjacent ramp and slab needed to be replaced to correct their inclines. BGL rapidly produced a striking design and then enacted it rapidly and thoroughly. In addition to the concrete work, stone walkways were placed and a drip irrigation system was installed and integrated."

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

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.

Using water when cutting stone drastically reduces the amount of dust that comes off the stone. It’s beneficial to cut down on the amount of dust for respiratory and other safety reasons, such as keeping your vision clear while using an electric tool. Even with protective eyewear, the dust can still cloud your safety glasses. You should always wear protective gear when cutting stone.

No, you should not put a hot pan or pot directly on a quartz countertop. While quartz is generally heat-resistant, the resin binders used in its manufacturing are sensitive to extreme heat from items exceeding 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This can damage the resin, leading to discoloration, burns, or even cracking. To prevent permanent damage, always use trivets or hot pads for hot cookware.

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.

Some of the cheapest ways to change granite countertops without replacing them include painting, honing, or changing the finish, covering them with tile or laminate, and using countertop contact paper. Dollar for dollar, applying countertop film is the cheapest, easiest, and most reversible way to update the look of your countertops. No matter what you choose, remember that permanently marring the original countertops can cost you money when you’re trying to sell your home, so make smart choices and preserve the integrity of the granite.
