Question 1

Can I keep my existing sink when replacing countertops?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, but it depends on the sink type and condition. Undermount sinks are removed during countertop replacement and can typically be reinstalled if they are in good condition. Drop-in sinks may or may not fit the new cutout—confirm the dimensions before committing. Farmhouse (apron-front) sinks require specific cabinet and countertop fitting and are usually part of a coordinated replacement. Let us know your sink situation when requesting a quote.

Question 2

Can you repair a cracked or chipped countertop?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the damage type, material, and location. Small chips at edges can often be repaired with color-matched filler for a near-invisible result. Hairline cracks that run through the body of the stone are more complex—some can be stabilized with epoxy; others indicate that replacement is the better long-term solution. Send us photos of the damage and the material type and we will give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement options.

Question 3

Do you work on commercial projects like restaurants and hotels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve restaurants, hotels, multi-family developments, and commercial builders throughout South Florida. Commercial projects typically involve volume pricing, coordinated scheduling with GCs, and tight delivery windows. We offer wholesale pricing for builders and developers and can handle phased installation for renovations where operations cannot be fully shut down. Contact us with your project scope for a commercial quote.

Question 4

Do you seal natural stone countertops after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We seal granite, quartzite, and marble surfaces as part of our installation process. Natural stone should be resealed periodically after that—typically once a year for kitchen granite, and as needed for marble and quartzite depending on use. We can walk you through the resealing process or recommend products at install.

Question 5

How fast can I get a countertop estimate?

Accepted Answer

If you send photos, rough measurements, the city, and the material direction you want, we can usually respond much faster than a showroom-only process. Firm pricing still depends on templating for final field conditions.

Question 6

How long does countertop fabrication take after templating?

Accepted Answer

Fabrication typically takes 5–7 business days after templating for most quartz and granite projects. Complex edges, waterfall details, or large commercial jobs may take longer. We confirm your specific timeline at template and keep you updated. Rush scheduling is sometimes available depending on current shop capacity.

Question 7

What countertop material is best for outdoor kitchens in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain is the top choice for South Florida outdoor kitchens—it is UV-stable, non-porous, handles extreme heat, and resists salt air. Quartzite and granite are also strong outdoor options. Engineered quartz should be avoided outdoors because the resin binder is sensitive to UV and most manufacturer warranties exclude outdoor applications.

Question 8

Should I choose quartz or granite?

Accepted Answer

Quartz is typically lower maintenance and more consistent in appearance. Granite offers natural variation and different performance traits depending on the specific stone. The right choice depends on your cooking habits, aesthetics, and how much maintenance you want.
