"Atlas James saved the day. After having such a horrible experience with F&F Custom Contracting, and them refusing to correct the issue I contacted Atlas James, they went above and beyond to obtain the exact type of quartz (no easy feat) and installing it in one piece. The customer service, professionalism and attention to detail is fabulous. I would recommend and use Atlas James. I absolutely love love my new counter top thanks to Atlas James"

"Our under-counter sink had come loose from glued in brackets after 10 years. Mike and his partner fixed the issue and installed a new floor under kitchen sink. After a few missteps they were able to resolve the issue and we now have a secure sink that will last for many years to come."

"They seemed good on the outside but sub contracted my window replacement project out and my garden window was leaking and it took months for them to send the sub contractors back. They did not take responsibility for the sub contractors work and made me have to keep trying to hunt the sub contractors down."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put hot pots on concrete countertops, but only if they’ve been properly sealed. While the concrete itself is heat-resistant, the sealant may not be, meaning heat may discolor the sealant, so use caution.

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.

Quartz countertops are known for their durability, but they aren’t indestructible. Quartz countertops can crack under extreme pressure, like when experiencing a heavy impact. The same can happen with regular exposure to high temperatures. Finally, improper installation makes the quartz more vulnerable. 

Baking soda can damage some countertops, but it makes an excellent mild abrasive for removing stains on other countertops. For example, never use baking soda on quartz or glass countertops, but you can use it on laminate and tile. Stay away from using it on quartz because it can scratch and damage the counter, and glass is prone to scratches. Since baking soda is a mild abrasive, you can only use it on certain surfaces.

Granite countertops can last for 100 years or more with proper maintenance, even in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Granite can crack, stain, or fade over time, like any countertop material, but it’s a highly durable option that should offer a lifetime of use. Some ways to increase the longevity of granite countertops include regularly cleaning the surface, especially after spills, avoiding sharp objects directly on the countertop, and resealing the material every few years.
