Marble

Marble is one of the higher-priced natural stones, but just because it is known for its higher price point doesn’t mean it’s not doable. There are plenty of affordable marble slabs available; let us help you find them.

Marble comes in a wide variety of colorations and veining styles, and it is a natural stone that is soft and porous. To keep it looking as gorgeous as the day you had it installed, we advise you to keep up on the sealing routine—this will protect it from damage caused by liquids and spills.

What many people love about marble is its ability to raise the resale value of a home. If you’re looking to sell, installing marble is the way to get people to put in bids from all over.

Granite

Granite is a natural stone that’s known for being tougher than marble. While it still needs to be sealed periodically, it is less likely to scratch and etch because it’s a harder stone.

This stone comes in many bold patterns and has a way of catching people’s attention. Like marble, it can also raise the resale value of your home.

Granite is very heat resistant, which makes it a great countertop for kitchens and bathrooms. Over the years, it’s also gotten more affordable as well.

Quartzite

Quartzite is known for its toughness. This extremely hard stone has the look of marble but with the durability of granite—and a personality all its own. Like the previous two natural stones, it needs to be sealed in order to maintain its integrity, and it can also entice buyers just as much.

This low-maintenance countertop material can be found in affordable slabs in our showroom.

Soapstone

Soapstone is a nonporous natural stone, which means it does not need to be sealed. It is made of about 50 percent talc, making it more likely than granite or quartzite to become scratched.

Soapstone has a rustic, old-world look that many people fawn over. It can be found in affordable slabs in our showroom, and we love its dark aesthetics and unique personality.

Quartz

Quartz is an engineered stone that many people love for its low level of maintenance and the fact that it never needs to be sealed. It comes in a large selection of patterns and colorations and has the potential to mimic the look of natural stone.

But while quartz can mimic natural stone, it is known for its uniform and predictable patterns. The look of quartz is not as unique as natural stone, but this is a quality that some homeowners actually prefer.

Quartz slabs can be affordable, just like any other stone. We can help you find one that fits in your budget.
