1. Subtle and Impressionable Quartz Engineered Kitchen Countertops

This man-made stone has been a craze for homeowners for their remodeling journey. When you want to enjoy the parallel lush beauty of natural stone minus its staining dilemma, you can never be wrong from choosing quartz.

For skimpy kitchen, we usually advise our clients to install sparkling white quartz to increase the visual illusion of a wider kitchen.

The strength and versatile appeal and texture of granite makes it a priceless choice for most clients. Compared to marble stones, it has a finer veining pattern with specks of gray, white, gold, and green which helps granite naturally stand-out from the scene.

Like quartz, you will have less trouble from cleaning and caring for granite kitchen countertops.
