Not sure where to start in your journey? Too many products to choose from? Get started by learning about the materials we work with and some sinks we keep in house. In addition, to working full slabs of the following materials we also work with remnants.

Top Three Surface Options:
Porcelain
Porcelain is made from non-porous clay that contains natural stone. The natural stone is cooked at extremely high heats to create porcelain. This material is popular in Europe and is currently making its way to the US. We are currently one of the few fabricators of porcelain in NC.
The stone tends to imitate marble and granite but with more durability.
It is resistant to scratching, heat, liquids, and UV light.
Granite
Granite goes through levels 1-3. Each level represents a price difference. Starting at level one prices are lower while level three prices will be more expensive. Levels tell us how rare a type of granite is.
Granite comes in all colors from the whitest white to the darkest blacks to bright blues and deep reds. Some granites will have streaks others will have spots, some will even have both.
Granite is one of the most durable materials. It only needs to be sealed every 15 or so years. It is mostly resistant to scratching, making it very reliable in highly used areas of your home. Most people love to use granite in kitchens or bathrooms they expect to have heavy use.
Marble
Marble is generally more expensive than most granite however, there are exceptions.
Marble usually comes in light colors with some veining or spots. Marble is a softer material so it is prone to scratching and cracks. However, with our 19+ years of experience in fabricating and installing your marble countertops will be cared for.
Additionally, marble needs to be properly looked after when it is finally installed in your home. Leaving liquids and hot materials can alter the stone. Many designers opt to use marble in bathrooms and other surfaces that do not experience heavy use.
Other Surface Options:
Quartz
Quartz comes in a range of prices. It is best to ask set a price range when looking for quartz.
Quartz surfaces are 90% ground quartz and 10% pigments and other chemicals pressed together. They are made to imitate natural stone. It can look and feel like both marble and granite, while giving you the durability of granite countertops.
This material is highly durable. Their non-porous nature makes it resistant to heat and liquids. Additional care requires soap and water, no sealing necessary.
Quartzite
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that originated as sandstone. High heat and pressurization creates quartzite. Quartzite can be more expensive.
The high pressurization gives it a reflective quality. Quartzite comes in all colors and patterns.
This material is highly durable. It can be used anywhere in your home for a unique look.
