Stone Kitchen
Kitchen counter tops are at the heart of the design décor. Natural stone is the hands-down material of choice, available in nearly countless colors and styles; with granite counter tops highest in demand.
Natural Stone; Popular, but Expensive
Whether granite, slate or quartz, marble or soapstone, natural stone counter tops are available at a significantly high cost, ranging from under $50 per square foot to well over $300 per square foot and up for exclusive designer lines.
Natural stone counter tops are best left in professional hands when it comes to installation or kitchen counter top replacement. Once base cabinetry has been prepared, a custom wood template is made as a pattern. Custom cutting of the stone slab for a perfect fit is done using a special diamond saw.
One simple slip-up can necessitate replacing the first counter top with a second natural stone slab; a very costly mistake indeed for the majority of homeowners attempting do it yourself kitchen counter tops projects on their own.
