"Richard is a good guy but needs more experience and attention to detail. His pricing is good but needs to pay attention to detail. Did not keep worksite clean. He did injure his leg in a car accident which affected his performance on the new vinyl plank work on our project. He is a hard worker and wants to do a good job so I think he will be okay."

"Tom is a very good and qualified contractor who is working to get his builders license. He gets the job done with top quality and care for the homeowner. He also took pictures at different stages of the job to show us exactly what he did. This was done because my wife and I are seniors and we could not go up on the roof and see for ourselves the progress of the job. I would have given FMC straight 5 stars but I feel that we were overcharged on the final bill. It ended up being a lot more money for the time put in on the job. Make sure that if you hire any contractor that you have everything in writing and ask for a itemized final bill. This is one thing we did not do and I take full responsibility of that portion of the contract. I don't know what carpenter's get for time and materials but I believe that $150 to $200 per hour is a bit much! All I ask of a contractor is to be fair and to me the final bill was not! I wish FMC the best of luck but I can no longer afford them for anymore more work!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

The timeline to install countertops largely depends on the materials and the job size. Installing granite countertops takes anywhere from two to seven hours, though complex designs can pass the eight hour mark. Average-sized quartz countertops take two to five hours to install, though most pros will recommend a 24-hour settling period. Marble, on the other hand, is finicky and can take up to two whole days to install. No matter how you slice it, however, a professional is going to complete the job much quicker than an amateur.

Unfortunately, you cannot put hot pans directly on laminate countertops, as the heat can cause significant damage. The heat can cause chips, burns, and marks, plus weaken the laminate. If you do have something hot you need to set down, then be sure you use a trivet or towel as a barrier between the countertop and pan so you can prolong its life.

There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs. 

  • Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.

  • Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.

  • Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.

  • Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.

  • Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.

  • Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.

  • Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.

  • Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.

Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.

Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.

Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.

The average countertop square footage in a kitchen is 30 square feet, but that number varies widely depending on the size of the kitchen. Some smaller kitchens may only have one stretch of countertop or an L-shape. Larger kitchens can include an island or peninsula and more expansive countertops. When deciding what works best for your home, measure your kitchen countertop and make sure to include countertop cost calculations in your budget.
