Care & Maintenance

To maintain the beauty of your countertops, clean them regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may dull the surface over time. A soft cloth or sponge will ensure your countertop stays spotless and scratch-free.

Always use trivets or hot pads when placing hot cookware on your stone countertops. Direct contact with heat can cause discoloration or even cracks, especially with natural stones like granite and marble.

Granite and marble countertops require sealing every 1-2 years to maintain their resistance to stains and moisture. This protective layer helps prevent liquids from seeping into the porous surface, ensuring longevity and durability.

We stand behind our workmanship with a 2-year installation warranty. Additionally, we offer product warranties from our trusted suppliers, ensuring your countertops are protected against defects.
