"After less than 7 weeks our contractor Scott Mastrofini gutted, cleared and replaced with everything new for our kitchen and two bathrooms. Scott is a strong gentleman who takes his work seriously and uses “measure twice, cut once “ mindset so he could do his job “perfectly!” He is a very focused worker who does quality jobs anywhere from cutting pipes to shorten, plastering the tiles for showers, bathroom floors and tiles for our kitchen walls, painting (his lovely wife did that) and grouting as well. Once there was a minor problem between the quartz countertops crew where the top wasn’t balanced correctly on the cabinets and together Scott and his fellow workers were able to regroup and come up with solutions very quickly. Scott is a family man who works during the week so he could focus on his family on weekends. You may get to see photos of his children and his toys as well! Ace Bath and Kitchen did a fine job from welcoming us, Wendy scheduling contractors, coming up with a few drawings that Adam created and Steve watching over our list of items that we wanted anywhere from tiles, bathtub, countertop, cabinets and even drawer handles/knobs. From my experience, as long as we were out of his way, I was happy that I didn’t have to stay in the basement. I was able to do some sewing in my living room while watching him putting together a beautiful kitchen! We were told that due to ordering everything and once all arrived, we started exactly 4 months later. Thank you Ace, Scott, Steve, Adam and Wendy to make my birthday gift becoming into a reality!"

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.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
