"Ben was a pleasure to work with. 

Even though this was not a big project, he was always prompt
and responsive.  He answered all our questions, was very fair
with pricing...the tile was somewhat labor intensive...and he
always left our house clean.

Very professional and a gentlemen.

Spectacular!

Stone Countertops FAQs, answered by experts

Marble countertops are often considered better than limestone because of their superior durability and luxurious appearance. Marble is harder and less prone to scratching and denting, though it still requires maintenance and sealing to prevent stains and etching. Marble is typically more expensive, but its beautiful veining and range of colors offer a high-end look. 

Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour. Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:

  • Marble tile: $7–$10

  • Granite tile: $5–$15

  • Marble slab: $25–$60

  • Granite slab: $50–$100

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.

Consider how much and in what way you'll be using your marble countertops. Untreated marble can stain easily and even change color slowly over time. If you're worried about bathroom chemicals or extensive meal prep, opt for a type of marble with more protection against spills.

When it comes to the cost of your marble installation, consider the slab's thickness, overall size, and necessary cutouts for sinks and cabinetry.

One of the primary benefits of a soapstone countertop is that the material is heat-resistant. You can put a hot pan on soapstone, and it won’t scorch or crack. Despite being able to handle extreme heat, soapstone is much softer than granite, quartz and similar materials. This means that it scratches easily, so you should not prepare food directly on the surface.
