Countertop Materials

Choosing the Right Stone for Your Kitchen

We fabricate and install four primary countertop materials in our Riviera Beach shop. Each one behaves differently, costs differently, and fits a different style of cooking and design.

Humidity, salt air, and intense Florida sun all affect countertop performance over time. We'll steer you toward materials that hold up long-term in your specific kitchen.

The Four Materials

Quartz, Quartzite, Granite & Marble

Four primary countertop materials we fabricate and install — each suited to a different kind of cook, style, and budget.

Most Popular

Quartz

Engineered stone — ground quartz crystals bound with resin. No sealing needed, excellent stain resistance, uniform appearance. The most common choice for Palm Beach County kitchens because it shrugs off humidity and acidic foods.

Brands we install: Cambria · Caesarstone · MSI Q · Silestone

Cook’s Favorite

Quartzite

Natural stone — harder than granite, handles heat exceptionally well, and every slab is one-of-a-kind. Costs more than quartz and needs periodic sealing, but avid cooks prefer it for the combination of beauty and durability.

Popular slabs: Mont Blanc · Taj Mahal · Fantasy Brown · Macaubas

Best Value

Granite

Classic natural stone — heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, with hundreds of color options from light Kashmir White to dramatic Black Galaxy. Requires sealing every one to two years.

Granite prices have dropped significantly as quartz took over mid-range kitchens, making it a strong value pick if you want natural stone without quartzite pricing.

Luxury Look

Marble

Natural stone with a soft, luxurious look that’s timeless in any kitchen. Stains and etches more easily than other stones — we typically recommend marble for bathroom vanities, butler’s pantries, or pastry areas rather than primary kitchen counters unless you understand and accept the maintenance.

Classics: Carrara · Calacatta · Statuario

Florida Conditions

Built for Humidity, Salt & Sun

South Florida’s climate is rough on stone. Humidity, salt air, and intense sun on surfaces near windows all affect countertop performance over time.

Quartz and quartzite handle these conditions better than marble or softer natural stones. If your kitchen has a south-facing window wall, we’ll steer you toward materials that won’t fade or yellow with sustained UV exposure. For outdoor kitchens, natural granite and porcelain panels are the only options that hold up long-term — quartz yellows in direct sun.

Fabrication Process

Hand-Templated, Shop-Fabricated, Precision-Installed

From template to installed countertop in 8–10 business days.

See our in-house fabrication shop →

  1. 01

    Hand templating

    After cabinets are installed, we template your counters using precise rigid templates that capture every angle, cutout, edge profile, and overhang.

  2. 02

    Shop fabrication

    Template returns to our Riviera Beach shop. We cut, polish, and finish the slab to exact dimensions.

  3. 03

    Installation

    We install 8–10 business days after templating — typically in under a day. Sink cutouts, seams sealed, edges polished on site.

Edge Profiles

Choose Your Edge Profile

Four standard edge profiles to choose from. Premium options — mitered, waterfall, and decorative ogee profiles — available for an upcharge based on linear footage. We’ll price the edge you want directly into your quote.

Eased edge profile on polished quartzite countertop

Eased

Modern, clean 90° edge with a tiny softening. Most popular.

Bullnose edge profile on polished quartzite countertop

Bullnose

Fully rounded edge for a softer, traditional look.

Beveled edge profile on polished quartzite countertop

Beveled

Angled 45° chamfer that catches light beautifully.

Ogee edge profile on polished quartzite countertop

Ogee

Decorative S-curve profile — classical and elegant.

Common Questions

Countertop FAQs

How long does countertop installation take? +

After cabinets are installed, we hand-template your kitchen, fabricate the stone in our Riviera Beach shop, and install in typically 8–10 business days from template date. The installation itself usually takes 4–8 hours depending on kitchen size.

Quartz vs. granite — which is better? +

For most Palm Beach County kitchens, quartz. It doesn’t need sealing, resists stains better, and comes in consistent patterns from sample to slab. Granite is still a great value if you prefer natural stone and don’t mind sealing every 12–18 months.

Do I need to pick my exact slab? +

For natural stones (granite, quartzite, marble) — yes. You’ll visit our supplier’s yard during your project and walk the inventory to pick the exact piece for your kitchen. Every natural slab is unique. For quartz, patterns are consistent batch-to-batch so choosing from a sample is fine.

What thickness do you install? +

Standard is 3cm (1.25 inches) — strong enough to cantilever for breakfast bars without underbrace support. We also install 2cm with a buildup for modern looks, and thicker mitered edges when the design calls for it.

How much do countertops cost in Palm Beach County? +

Installed pricing: granite $50–$90/sf, quartz $65–$120/sf, marble $75–$150/sf, quartzite $85–$175/sf. A typical 50-square-foot kitchen runs $3,250–$8,750 in countertops alone. Edge profile, cutouts, and slab grade affect final pricing.

Do you seal countertops after install? +

Yes. Natural stones (granite, quartzite, marble) get sealed before we leave. Quartz never needs sealing. We hand you a care sheet with re-sealing intervals: granite every 12–18 months, quartzite annually, marble every 6 months.

Can I get an undermount sink with any countertop? +

With any solid-surface countertop — granite, quartz, quartzite, marble — yes. Only laminate can’t support an undermount sink because the particleboard substrate swells when exposed to water at a cut edge. More on picking the right sink here.

Do you offer mitered or waterfall edges? +

Yes. Mitered edges add $25–$50 per linear foot and make a 3cm slab look like a 6cm chunky slab. Waterfall ends (stone flowing down island sides) add $300–$800 per side. Both are fabricated in our Riviera Beach shop. Full edge profiles guide here.
