What’s the difference between granite and quartz?
- Granite: 100% natural, unique patterns, highly heat resistant, requires sealing.
- Quartz: Man-made with quartz + resin, uniform look, non-porous, low maintenance, less heat resistant.
👉 Choose granite for natural beauty, quartz for easy maintenance.
Are granite countertops heat resistant?

How do I maintain granite, marble, or quartz countertops?

How often should granite countertops be sealed?
Most granite requires sealing every 12–18 months, but frequency depends on usage and stone type. Light granites may need sealing more often. A water-drop test will indicate when resealing is necessary.
Can I use granite or quartz outdoors?
Yes. Granite and quartzite are excellent for outdoor kitchens in Dallas due to durability and UV resistance. Quartz is less UV-stable and may discolor outdoors, so it’s best kept indoors.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options so you can begin your remodel now and pay over time. Financing details can be reviewed during your consultation.
Can countertops chip, scratch, or stain?
- Granite: May stain if not sealed, but is highly durable.
- Marble: Softer, prone to scratching.
- Quartz: Very resistant to stains but less tolerant of high heat.
- Repairs: Small chips can often be fixed without slab replacement.
What warranties do you provide?
We provide manufacturer warranties on quartz products and a workmanship guarantee on all installations. Granite and marble warranties vary by supplier, and we review all terms before installation
Can I view slabs in person?
Yes. Viewing slabs in person is highly recommended, as photos often don’t capture the true veining and depth of natural stone. Our showroom and local suppliers in Dallas offer a wide selection to choose from.
Do you offer rush or same-day installation?
Most projects require 7–10 days for fabrication. However, small jobs such as bathroom vanities may qualify for rush service, depending on slab availability. Contact us for scheduling options.
How do countertops affect resale value?
Countertops are one of the top ROI upgrades in a remodel. Updated kitchens and bathrooms with granite or quartz often increase home value, attract buyers, and reduce time on the market in Dallas’ competitive housing market.
What countertop trends are popular in Dallas?
Dallas homeowners are loving:
- White/gray quartz with subtle veining
- Waterfall islands for luxury kitchens
- Exotic granite slabs with bold patterns
- Honed/matte finishes for a soft look
- Mixed materials – quartz perimeters + granite islands
What’s the best stone for bathrooms in Dallas homes?
Quartz is often the best bathroom material due to its non-porous, stain-resistant surface. Marble remains a luxury choice but requires more care. Granite works well if sealed regularly, especially in high-traffic bathrooms.
