"We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Chris Walker at Kitchen Outfitters! From start to finish, Chris delivered exceptional service and craftsmanship. The quality of the cabinetry and installation was outstanding, and every detail reflected true professionalism and pride in his work. We can't wait for the countertops and appliances to be installed. Thank you again Chris! Chris went above and beyond—answering all of our questions, even on weekends, and offering expert advice that made a huge difference in our kitchen design. His knowledge, patience, and eye for detail helped us create a space that's not only beautiful but also incredibly functional. If you're even thinking about remodeling your kitchen or updating cabinetry in any room, I highly recommend reaching out to Chris. You won’t find better guidance, quality, or customer care anywhere else!"

"Had a great experience with Merrifield Granite who provided outstanding customer service. The measurements Anga took were very precise and the marble countertops fit perfectly. From selection to install absolutely great job. They gave a much better price also. Highly recommended."

"Virginia Beach Countertops recently installed a new countertop in our kitchen and we are very happy with the final product. We had thought about the project for some time, and after an email to them, the project proceeded quickly. Cindy was very helpful and accommodating in helping us make our final selection. Our house presented some challenges as the existing cabinets did not always meet squarely, and in several instances, they were not level to the degree stone countertops demanded. The installers, Diego and Claudio, worked diligently and smartly to arrive at sensible solutionsâ always taking the time to explain the process and asking for my input. We are contemplating a second countertop project in Richmond and will again go with Eco-Granite, and ask for Diego and Claudio to do the installation."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Quartzite is more expensive than granite, largely because of its rarity. Granite is naturally more common. A granite slab generally costs $40 to $60 per square foot (excluding super-rare types), while quartzite slabs cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per square foot. 

With both materials, it’s usually more affordable to purchase stones that are readily available in your location. You may need to import other stones, which come at a higher cost.

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won’t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.

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.

Comparing engineered stone vs. natural stone countertops can help you figure out if one is better than the other for you. The answer depends on your preferences, needs, and budget. You might choose engineered stone if you are looking for something more cost effective and low maintenance, but it is hard to beat the beauty of natural stone counters. You may prefer their longer lifespan, the uniqueness of each slab, and their durability.

While onyx is among the most expensive countertop stones, it’s not always the priciest. It is generally cheaper than Calacatta marble, which is highly sought-after for its rarity and bold veining. However, onyx still commands a premium price due to its unique translucency and delicate nature.
