Material

The material you choose for your countertops can make or break them — literally. Depending on how you use your kitchen’s counters, you must factor in durability, heat resistance, stain resistance, and more. Fortunately, at Granite and Marble Solutions, we offer choices like marble, quartz, and granite, which meet the needs of most homeowners.

Color or Pattern

Stone countertops come in a variety of colors and patterns, but it’s best to choose one that suits the look of the rest of your kitchen. When the countertops complement the walls, floors, and cabinets, the space’s overall appearance will blend more nicely.

Type of Edge

Did you know that when you buy custom kitchen countertops, you can customize their edge profile? A straight edge is typically the most popular, but other options, such as beveled or bullnose, may suit your kitchen’s aesthetics better.
