Countertop FAQs

Answers about material care, timelines, and what to expect on install day.

Do quartz counters handle heat?

Quartz is resilient but not immune to thermal shock—use trivets. Natural stones like granite handle heat better.

  • Follow manufacturer heat limits
  • Use boards for cutting
  • Wipe spills promptly
How long does templating and install take?

Most projects template in a visit, with install typically 1–3 weeks later depending on material and complexity.

  • Faster for in-stock slabs
  • Longer for custom features
  • We’ll outline timelines early
Do I need to seal my counters?

Some stones need periodic sealing; quartz typically does not. We’ll specify care by material.

  • Material-specific care guide
  • Food-safe sealers
  • Simple maintenance schedule
