Is marble a good choice for a kitchen countertop?
Marble offers natural veining and a distinctive appearance, but it is sensitive to acidic substances and can develop etching, scratches, and patina. It suits customers who understand those changes. Compare actual samples and care expectations before choosing it for a kitchen.
What should I send to request a countertop quote?
Share your name, contact details, project location, preferred material, and a short description of the space. A rough dimensioned sketch, cabinet plan, photos, or designer drawings help the team understand the scope. Initial measurements support discussion; final dimensions and specifications must be confirmed before fabrication.
How long does a countertop project take?
Timing varies with slab availability, material selection, cabinet readiness, measurement, fabrication, and installation scheduling. Ask Stone Galaxy for a project-specific sequence and current lead time before making commitments to other trades.
Will my new countertops have seams?
Some layouts need seams because of slab size, access, support requirements, or the shape of the countertop. Discuss proposed seam placement, pattern direction, and edge details before fabrication. A seam may remain visible, especially in strongly patterned material.
Does a quote include removal, plumbing, and installation?
Ask for these items to be listed explicitly. Existing countertop removal, disposal, sink and faucet work, backsplash work, installation, and trade coordination can affect scope and price. Request written confirmation of inclusions and exclusions before proceeding.
