Q: What is the best tool to cut countertops with?

• <div><p>The best tool for cutting countertops depends on the type of countertop material. For some softer materials, like laminate (Formica) and butcher block, you can use a hand saw, but most experts recommend power saws like circular saws, since these make the job go faster and easier and give more even results. However, power saws and circular saws are dangerous if used incorrectly, and they can be so powerful that they damage or chip laminate, stone, and other types of countertops. For this reason, you should take safety precautions and use best practices to prevent damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut food on granite?

• <div><p>You can cut food on tough, scratch-resistant granite countertops. However, these hard surfaces can quickly dull your knife blades, and continual cutting in the same spot can eventually lead to marks forming and compromising the protective sealant. As with any countertop material, it&rsquo;s always best to use a chopping board.</p></div>

Q: What’s the most expensive countertop material?

• <div><p>The most expensive countertop materials are marble and granite. These natural materials are very heavy and require specialized tools and knowledge to install. Their natural veins and flecks elevate the design and make a beautiful statement in the kitchen or bathroom. Because they&rsquo;re natural, no two countertops will be the same. </p></div>

Q: Is onyx good for a countertop?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/onyx-countertops-pros-and-cons.htm">Onyx countertops have pros and cons</a>. If you seal it properly and take care not to damage it, it can make a good countertop surface. However, it's more often used in bathrooms, where it&rsquo;s less likely to sustain damage. Having an onyx kitchen countertop is possible, but you&rsquo;ll need to take extra care not to burn, stain, or otherwise damage the material.</p></div>

Q: How often do concrete countertops need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Concrete countertops should be sealed every one to three years, depending on the type of sealer used and the level of use your countertops get. For instance, hardworking kitchens will need yearly sealing. Sealing is important because it protects the surface from stains, moisture, and daily wear. Monitoring the countertop for signs of wear can help determine the ideal sealing schedule for your countertop.</p></div>

"We contacted Richard regarding the job, and had a quote back within the week - good quote. He quickly responded to any questions we had, and scheduled the work. They completed the demo in one day, a few days before the cabinets showed up - if I had to do this again, I would hold off on the demolition until the cabinets were in, as it is difficult to live without a kitchen, especially with children. It took approximately two weeks for the kitchen to be completed, with slight delays due to a damaged cabinet, time for the new countertops to set, appliance delivery, etc. One hitch developed when the dishwasher was hooked up incorrectly, and water ran into my basement - I called Richard, and once I got through the answering service, he contacted the plumber, and we resolved the problem immediately over the phone, and the plumber was at my house at 8 the next morning ( a Saturday of a holiday weekend) to permanently fix the problem. At the end of the two weeks, we had a great new kitchen, well installed, and we were thrilled!"
