What project are you persuing?

What's your budget?

Granite

Granite

A classic with very minimal maintenance required. Durable enough to withstand time, affordable enough to fit your budget and naturally beautiful. Granite is the best material to use for kitchen and bar tops often exposed to acids like lemon, vinegar, and harsh cleaning products.

Onyx

Onyx

Translucent, radiant and stunning. This semi-precious stone is used for custom projects, hotel lobbies, and high-end restaurants. Most often installed with a light underneath for added dramatic flair. Onyx has an unmistakable airy-ness to it with reflective hues.

It's a high-budget item that requires daily maintenance. Since onyx is soft and calcium-based, it will react with acids found in common household liquids such as vinegar, lemon juice, and coffee.

Marble

Marble

Timeless, sleek and clean with flowing patterns. Marble can go just about anywhere, including outside! Install it as flooring, shower walls or staircase steps. It's also the best material to use for areas exposed to alkaline products such as bathroom countertops and fireplaces, which don't react with Marble.

Maintenance is medium to high due to it's porous and easily stained structure. Once a high-budget item, but thanks to technology and competitive markets there are hundreds of styles and carriers of this material, making it more affordable than ever before!

Quartz

Quartz

Simple, clean and modern. Quartz is a perfect match for those with a low budget looking for something dazzling. It comes in countless shades and colors, mostly solid with a grained texture. It's very durable so it does great in high-traffic areas with exposure to the elements and requires no maintenance. Put it almost anywhere. Quartz makes for a great floor thanks to its texture.
