"Purchased a remnant for a small countertop for a wet bar. After visiting many sources found the perfect piece at Princess and also found the most comfortable experience. The price was also the best and the granite itself is stunning. We had a slightly uneven wall, this was a brand new installation, not a replacement, and it is a perfect fit, even my super picky spouse was impressed at how perfect it was. they we prompt, professional, and we couldn't be more pleased.

"First, the sales representative, Jaime, was exceptional. Very helpful in selecting the granite countertops and laminate flooring. We also needed some carpentry done to our kitchen. He suggested a person, who also did a perfect job. The granite countertops were installed last week. Travis and Zach were marvelous. Very professional and thoughtful to our needs. They did a wonderful job. Such craftsmanship. They were on time and cleaned up when they were finished. Last Thursday and Friday we had laminate flooring installed. Steve, Erik and Larry were just great. They removed our old carpeting and pad. They installed our laminate flooring. They did a wonderful job. Just beautiful. They were on time and cleaned up upon completion. They even stayed late (Friday afternoon) to help us move our heavy furniture. Very much appreciated. We are thinking of doing our bathrooms and bedrooms. We will definitely call 651 Carpets again."

"Hal Morris had done other work at our home, so when I called him with the need for a fence, I knew I would get something unique. I needed a fence tall enough to keep the rabbits out of my vegetable garden, but short enough for me to step over, and with removable sections so I could get a roto-tiller or other equipment _into_ the garden. Hal designed a fence that fit the bill elegantly. The removable sections--which he designed with an ingenious bracket system--are sturdy and reliable. The fence is beautiful: I have probably gotten ten compliments on it from alley passers-by. Perhaps best of all, Hal convinced me to turn the back of the garden fence into a trellis for pole beans. This summer crop was a bumper one, and the trellis helped to make it so. If you need an artistic but practical solution to your fence or decking needs, employ Hal Morris."

"He was prompt and didn't waste any time getting to the measuring, asking me questions along the way.  His estimate was alot lower than the others and for that reason I didn't choose him ( I never take the highest  or the lowest).  And, maybe it's wrong of me to define someone this way, but he had five typos in the description of his company.  It made me wonder if he would have the same lack of attention to detail on the job."

Countertops and Backsplashes FAQs, answered by experts

The best finish for butcher block countertops depends on their intended use. If you plan to use the surface for food prep and cutting, a food-safe oil like mineral oil or tung oil is recommended. These oils provide a water-resistant, velvety matte finish but require regular reapplication. If the countertops are primarily for appearance or serving, a stain can add color and sheen. Polyurethane is another option, but it tends to show scratches more prominently, making it less ideal if you plan to cut directly on the surface.

Yes, you can put hot pans directly on Dekton without causing any damage. Dekton countertops are extremely dense, which makes them highly resistant to heat. This density also makes Dekton nonporous and water-resistant.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

There are several significant differences between laminate and quartz countertops. Quartz is much pricier than laminate but can last for decades, while laminate lasts around 15 years. Laminate can’t be repaired or resealed and is easier to damage than quartz, which can be repaired. Both quartz and laminate are prone to heat damage. Usually, the choice comes down to your budget.

Both marble and quartz are decent kitchen countertop choices for different reasons. Marble provides an elegant look that’s sure to attract eyeballs, which can add value to a home. However, this isn’t the most durable material around and is easily scratched and stained. Quartz may not offer a classic look like marble, but it is available in a wide range of colors and patterns. It’s also durable, with the ability to resist scratches and stains.
