Common Questions About Countertop & Backsplash Upgrades

Why choose quartz over granite or marble?

Quartz offers the perfect combination of beauty and practicality. While natural stones like granite and marble require regular sealing and special care, quartz is virtually maintenance-free while offering superior stain, and scratch resistance. It's non-porous (making it naturally antibacterial), comes in consistent patterns without unpredictable variations, and offers the widest range of colors and styles. For busy Durham Region families, quartz delivers premium aesthetics without the maintenance headaches.

How disruptive is a countertop and backsplash upgrade?

Much less disruptive than you might expect! Most surface upgrades take just 3-5 days from template to completion. We typically remove old countertops on day one, template and fabricate your new quartz over the next 2-3 days, then install countertops and backsplash on the final days. Your kitchen remains partially functional throughout most of the process, with minimal downtime. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.

What backsplash options work best with quartz countertops?

The ideal backsplash complements your quartz without competing visually. For dramatic, veined quartz, we often recommend simple subway tiles or solid glass that let the countertop be the star. For more subdued quartz, consider statement backsplashes like Moroccan patterns, dimensional tiles, or mosaic accents. During your consultation, our designers will present curated pairings that enhance your specific quartz selection and overall kitchen aesthetic.

Can I upgrade my surfaces without replacing cabinets?

Absolutely! Surface upgrades are the perfect way to transform your kitchen without the expense of cabinet replacement. We carefully remove your existing countertops while preserving your cabinets, then precisely fit new quartz surfaces and backsplashes. Many Durham Region homeowners are amazed at how new countertops and backsplashes can completely refresh the look of existing cabinets—especially when paired with updated hardware.
