Frequently Asked Questions About Granite Guy Creations LLC
What types of stone countertops do you offer?
Our selection includes natural stones such as granite, marble, onyx, and soapstone. We also offer engineered stones like quartz. Each material provides distinct advantages in terms of durability, visual appeal, and maintenance requirements.
How do I choose the right stone for my kitchen or bathroom?
When selecting a stone, it's important to evaluate factors including durability, resistance to stains, heat tolerance, and aesthetic preferences. For kitchens, granite and quartz are excellent choices due to their robustness. Marble offers an elegant appearance for bathrooms but requires more attentive care.
Are stone countertops heat-resistant?
Most natural stones, including granite and soapstone, exhibit high heat resistance. However, quartz may discolor when exposed to extreme temperatures. As a precaution, we recommend using trivets or heat pads for hot items.
Do stone countertops stain easily?
Properly sealed granite resists staining effectively. Quartz typically comes with a manufacturer's warranty for its built-in sealant. Marble, being more porous, can be prone to staining without proper maintenance. Regular sealing is crucial for protecting natural stone surfaces.
How often should I seal my stone countertop?
For granite and marble countertops, sealing is typically recommended every two years. Quartz countertops do not require sealing due to their non-porous nature.
Can stone countertops chip or crack?
While stone countertops are durable, they can potentially chip or crack from severe impacts or improper installation. Our company provides professional installation and repair services to minimize these risks.
What is the typical cost of stone countertops?
The cost of stone countertops varies based on the material and project size. Granite and quartz typically range from $55 to $80 per square foot, while marble may be priced higher. We offer complimentary estimates tailored to your specific project. For smaller projects, we also provide remnants at a reduced cost.
How do I clean and maintain my stone countertop?
For cleaning stone countertops, use a gentle soap and water solution or cleaners specifically designed for stone surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can potentially damage the sealant or the stone surface itself.
How long does installation take?
The installation process typically requires 1 to 2 days after measurements and fabrication are complete. The entire process, from initial template to final installation, usually spans 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the project's complexity.
Do you offer warranties on stone countertops?
We provide warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Quartz countertops often come with a manufacturer's warranty, and we guarantee the quality of our installation work.
