"Edgardo Alonzo Ruiz and team did an outstanding job at installing tile and hardwood flooring in a 3000 sq. ft. area. Edgardo is very knowledgeable and professional. Cost for installation was competitive. We would definitely recommend Ruiz Flooring and use his services again."

"Oscar & his crew installed our quartz countertops in a day. He came out to give me a reasonable quote & was able to come within the next week to install. I am impressed with his timing & work. Everything was clean when they finished up & i’m so happy with the new countertops! He also demoed the backsplash & put in a new sink for us. It took some cutting & supports to install the sink but he was willing to do that as well & it turned out great!"

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

Granite is heavier than quartz, since it has a higher density. Quartz is made up of engineered stone, which is why it tends to weigh less than granite. Most granite countertops are ¾-inch thick and weigh about 13 pounds per square foot.

Marble is very porous, so it stains more than non-porous quartz. Exercise caution when drinking wine and juice or cooking with oil near the marble fixture.

There are three main downsides to quartzite: the cost, the porosity, and the weight. As a natural stone, there’s a level of scarcity that can drive up the price of certain types of quartzite. Even more common varieties are less affordable than synthetic materials like laminate and other natural stones like granite. 

You’ll also have to reseal your quartzite countertop annually to combat the natural porosity and reinforce your cabinets to account for the added weight.

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.

There are many differences between solid surface and quartz countertops. Whether one is as good as the other will depend on what you value most in a counter. These two materials are nonporous, although quartz is more durable. Some people may prefer the look of quartz, although they’re both available in many different colors and designs.
