"This is the third job David has completed for me and I highly recommend him for anything stone related. The 1st job was a restoration of a 100 year old marble table which had a cracked top and was missing a corner of the base pedestal. He completely rebuilt and then polished the whole table on site. The next job involved releveling and regrouting a bluestone patio. The 3rd job was restoring soapstone countertops. David shows up on time, has a good eye for detail, cares about and is knowledgeable about his work, and is honest and respectful."
"Signature Craft was responsive, effective and efficient when I used them to repair my roof, siding and ceiling drywall damage from tree limbs that fell on my house. Signature Craft responded within a few hours to do emergency repairs and final repairs after my insurance settled. Their customer service and work quality is superior to other contractors and they are honest, trustworthy and dependable. I recommend Signature Craft to all my friends, family and real estate clients."

"I was told by many contractors that the job I had couldnâÂÂt be done. Lionize came to give an estimate and told me that they could remove the stain on our fieldstone. At one point I honestly believed that I was going to have to replace the stone. Lionize is professional, timely, courteous and knowledgeable. I wouldnât hesitate to have them back. Couldnât be happier."
"I cannot recall giving a perfect score but this team deserves one. The price was almost too good causing me to study their prior reviews and web site. I am delighted I did so because it is clear the prior reviews were on the mark. They came on time -- even a bit early. They taught me lessons about how to protect marble. Responded to my adding a new task on the spot. VERY Pleased !!"
"I absolutely LOVE the countertops Laser Marble installed in our kitchen. I worked directly with Jennifer to discuss everything from style/type of countertop to details of the installation. They were extremely thorough and accommodating throughout it all. This quality of the stone and the customer service were provided were impeccable. Jennifer sent me videos and pictures of the stone I picked out and explained everything! I would HIGHLY advise anyone looking for any type of stone or tile for your home or business to please consult with Laser Marble. I’m the president of my HOA and will definitely be passing on their information to other homeowners in my neighborhood!!"

Onyx countertops are naturally porous, absorbing liquids and staining easily without proper care. Regular sealing every 6 to 12 months is essential to keep them looking their best. Daily maintenance includes wiping up spills immediately and avoiding harsh cleaners or acidic substances that can etch the surface.
Silestone® is heat-resistant, so it can handle moderately high temperatures for a short period of time. That said, exposure to high heat can cause serious damage. You should never take a hot pan off the stove and place it directly on your countertop. Temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit can leave marks or discoloration on the surface. Instead, use a trivet.
Yes, marble countertops are fairly soft and can scratch easily, especially compared to rival materials. However, most marble scratches are easy to repair, thanks to marble polish and repair kits. Deep scratches will require a professional.
Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.
For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.
After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.
Sintered stone and quartz are both low-maintenance materials resistant to water damage and scratching. However, quartz can be damaged by temperatures over 150°F, while sintered stone is heat-resistant up to 300°F. Both materials are comparable in cost, so ultimately, the decision will hinge on your preferences.
