"The service and speed with which Stone Designs was able to do my quartz countertop project was amazing. Took less than a week from reaching out and asking for an estimate to final completion. Very fairly priced amongst the other local and bigger box completion. Excellent!"

The project went beautifully, with very professional salesman [Tony Laudadio, who came to our home in the first week, filmed and measured everything, calculated with his IPad, and gave us a firm cost, with a free flooring flyer discount], Josh Agrelius [scheduling], Matt Wallace [project manager], as well as Jason Duane and Christina in the Austin office -- all providing information, advice, and assistance over a two-and-one-half month period, from initial call and visit through final installation. The main work was done in a week-and-a-half stretch by two very skilled tradesmen from South Austin, who were courteous, competent, clean, dependable, helpful with decisions and changes, as well as very appreciative of our hospitality. There were no added costs, even when we made changes in fixtures and flowing choices. When they finished -- meeting the deadline that ReBath had set two months earlier -- we then chose our own paints and completed our renovations in the next week.
We wondered about the price and how Tony did the estimate, since his work order just listed the materials that we had chosen. When I asked for a detailed list of item and labor costs, they sent only a list of rough combined material and labor costs for each of the rooms. When I noted that some folks on Angie's List had noted somewhat "high costs," ReBath stated that the costs were actually reasonable, consistent with the high quality of materials and workmanship. I found that to be true, as best I can tell.
We actually could not be happier with the beautiful outcome!!! We had lots of choices for shower and floor materials, in both color and substance. Given the small samples that Tony could bring to our home, we found it most helpful to go twice to the ReBath office on Howard Lane in North Austin to see larger and more varied samples, as well as model displays, in picking our shower stone walls and flooring [at Tony's suggestion, we visited Floors and Décor warehouse on Braker Lane to see their huge offering, before choosing a different more dramatic flooring there for the Master Bath]. The materials and colors that we chose, with some advice from Tony and Matt, turned out great - many shades of browns to greys in the wood and granite, with striking contrast in the dark bronze fixtures. And removing the dividing wall in the Guest Bath, as Tony suggested, made a huge difference in the open feeling, so well implemented by the two craftsmen who did all the work.
We are grateful to the whole ReBath of Austin team, and we highly recommend them to our friends and others.

Small kitchens benefit from simple, blunt countertop edges, as complicated edges can create visual clutter and be more of a hazard if you bump into them. Eased edges are a top pick for small kitchens because they are simple, do not jut out, and do not take up additional space. Bullnose edge countertops are also popular because of their rounded design; they are elegantly simple and will not be sharp when you bump against them. Single-beveled edges are also a good choice, as they look a little more upscale but still have rounded edges for safety and simplicity.
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.
Engineered quartz is an artificial, nonporous material made from a mix of mined ground quartz, polymer resins, and pigments, making it a lower-maintenance option. In contrast, quartzite is a natural stone composed of sandstone, which makes it highly resistant to heat but often requires sealing and more careful upkeep. You should clean both types of stone with non-abrasive cleaners that have a low or neutral pH, avoiding acidic cleaners like vinegar, as well as wire brushes and scouring pads.
Common hardscaping materials include coated steel or iron, asphalt, stone, concrete, and brick. Coated steel or iron provide durability and style for fences and gates while asphalt is a wallet-friendly option for driveways. Stone brings timeless beauty to steps, patios, and walkways. Concrete pavers and slabs are cost-effective, though they require more upkeep than stone alternatives. For a classic, upscale look, brick works beautifully in walls, walkways, and patios. Each material brings its own charm, so pick what fits your budget, style, and functional needs.
The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.
The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.
To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.
