Marble Countertops
Marble is beautiful, cool and quietly dramatic, and it develops a patina over time. It is softer and more porous than granite or quartz, so it can etch and stain, and we are honest about that. For the right kitchen and the right owner, it is unmatched. We also help you choose marble-look alternatives.

About marble countertops
Will marble stain or scratch?
It can etch from acids like lemon and wine and can stain if not sealed. Many owners love the patina, while others prefer a harder surface. We help you decide.
Is honed or polished better?
Honed marble has a soft matte finish that shows etching less. Polished is glossy and richer in color. We show you both.
What are good marble alternatives?
Marble-look quartz and some porcelain slabs give a similar look with easier care. We can show samples side by side.
