"It took Christine and Emily 1 1/2 hours to clean my 1600 sq ft, 1 1/2 story home in Ann Arbor, and it only cost $95 (my former service, Majestic Maids, charged $120 and didn't clean everything like Beacon Cleaners did).  When they were done, EVERYTHING in my home SHINED and smelled VERY CLEAN.  Christine and Emily were very pleasant and friendly, and even petted my two cats!  They are definitely coming back to clean my home every 2 weeks, and will stay longer to clean something extra as long as I notify them beforehand.  It's very difficult to find a cleaning service in the Ann Arbor area who will clean just about anything.  Majestic Maids and three other housecleaning services expected me to clear my tables and counters and put my dusty objects away because they wanted to "speed clean" my home.  I don't consider that cleaning my home!  It cost extra to have my kitchen appliances like my toaster, coffeemaker, and blender dusted and that should be part of the USUAL cleaning service, not something I had to pay extra for.  Beacon Cleaning Services is based in Dearborn and is just beginning to branch out and clean houses in Ann Arbor.  They hire only family members and close friends so they can be trusted.  I highly recommend their services!!"

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won’t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.

The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like granite countertops. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones. 

Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.

A countertop contractor is the best person to install your quartz countertop. Because installing quartz countertops can be challenging, it’s important to consult a professional with experience installing quartz slabs to get the job done right. Repairing quartz countertops can be expensive, so it’s important to hire a professional to avoid damage.

Marble countertops are often considered better than limestone because of their superior durability and luxurious appearance. Marble is harder and less prone to scratching and denting, though it still requires maintenance and sealing to prevent stains and etching. Marble is typically more expensive, but its beautiful veining and range of colors offer a high-end look. 

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. Placing a hot pan on the surface can damage the resin, leading to discoloration or other cosmetic issues. If the heat exceeds 150 degrees Fahrenheit, it can cause permanent damage, such as burns or even cracking. To protect your countertop, always use trivets or hot pads.
