FAQ
Questions? We’ve got answers:
What are quartz countertops and how are they made?
Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from about 90–95% ground natural quartz combined with resins and pigments. The result is a non-porous, durable surface that mimics natural stone but requires less upkeep. East Hill-Meridian homeowners love quartz because it offers consistent patterns, a wide range of colors, and superior stain resistance compared to granite or marble.
Do you offer custom edge profiles for countertops?
We provide a wide selection of custom edge profiles, from classic eased edges to modern waterfall and intricate ogee designs. Edge profiles help define the style of your East Hill-Meridian kitchen or bathroom, whether you’re looking for sleek and contemporary or timeless and traditional. Our design specialists can show you samples in our Bellevue showroom, just minutes from East Hill-Meridian.
Do quartz countertops need sealing?
Unlike granite or marble, quartz countertops are non-porous and never require sealing. This makes them ideal for busy East Hill-Meridian families who want low-maintenance surfaces. You can keep quartz looking new with simple cleaning—just mild soap and warm water—without worrying about bacteria, wine, coffee, or oil soaking into the surface.
How heat-resistant are quartz countertops?
Quartz countertops are heat-resistant but not heatproof. They can withstand normal cooking temperatures, but placing very hot pots or pans directly on the surface may cause discoloration or cracking. We recommend using trivets or hot pads in your East Hill-Meridian kitchen to protect your investment and keep your quartz countertops in perfect condition.
Can quartz countertops chip, scratch, or stain?
Quartz countertops are highly resistant to scratches, chips, and stains thanks to their engineered composition. However, no material is completely indestructible. Using cutting boards and avoiding dropping heavy objects on edges will keep your countertops looking their best. With proper care, quartz remains one of the most durable options for kitchens and bathrooms in East Hill-Meridian homes.
How do I clean and maintain quartz countertops?
Quartz maintenance is simple. Wipe spills with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. For tougher messes, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, oven cleaner, or paint stripper. With regular care, East Hill-Meridian homeowners enjoy quartz countertops that stay beautiful for decades without special sealing or polishing.
What types of edge profiles, colors, and finishes are available?
We carry one of the largest selections of quartz slabs near East Hill-Meridian, with hundreds of colors and finishes to choose from. Options include polished, matte, or textured surfaces, plus a wide variety of edge profiles. From bright whites and marble-like veining to bold designer colors, our Bellevue showroom offers exclusive patterns you won’t find anywhere else.
How long do quartz countertops last?
With proper installation and care, quartz countertops can last 25–30 years or more. Because they’re engineered for durability and backed by our 25-year warranty, East Hill-Meridian homeowners can feel confident their countertops will remain beautiful and functional for decades. Quartz is a long-term investment that adds value to any kitchen or bathroom remodel.
Will seams be noticeable in quartz countertops?
Seams are sometimes necessary for larger projects, but our digital templating and precision fabrication process minimizes visibility. We carefully match patterns and colors to ensure a seamless look. Most East Hill-Meridian homeowners are pleasantly surprised at how subtle and well-blended their seams appear after installation.
Are quartz countertops worth the money?
Quartz offers excellent long-term value for East Hill-Meridian homeowners. It combines beauty, durability, and low maintenance, which means fewer repairs and no sealing costs compared to natural stone. Plus, quartz countertops increase home value and make kitchens and bathrooms more appealing to buyers. With our competitive pricing and 25-year warranty, quartz is one of the best remodeling investments you can make.
Do quartz countertops increase home value?
Buyers see quartz as a premium, worry-free upgrade, which can boost resale appeal for East Hill-Meridian homes.
