Countertops

Modern countertop choices include materials such as quartz, laminate, meganite, Corian, and many others, but we find granite to be the most popular. Mark Michalsky Kitchens always works to get the best materials for our clients, which is why 90% of the granite we work with comes from Brazil, and the other 10% comes from Turkey, India, or Italy. Granite from these areas has proven to be of better quality than that of other areas in the world. 

Here are just a few of the advantages of selecting granite countertops:

  • Its unique color and design (No two slabs are the same)
  • Its excellent strength and durability
  • Its price which is typically lower than that of quartz

We have been working with Keystone Granite and Tile for years. Keystone offers fair pricing, a large selection, as well as helpful customer service, and because of our strong relationship, MMK’s turnaround time from scribe to installation is only five working days. This ensures our projects run according to schedule. One of the things our clients appreciate most about Keystone is the ability to go to the shop themselves, prior to their counters being cut, and to assist in the layout process of the counters onto the slabs. This is especially helpful if their granite has a lot of “movement” (color changes, mineral deposits, and/or veins). 

With the vast number of options for granite, we realize how overwhelming this decision can become. It would be our pleasure to accompany you to the showroom and slab yard during this process. If desired, we can bring your selected cabinet door and paint, flooring, and tile backsplash samples to make this decision much easier for you. 

While in the showroom, you will pick from five standard edges which are offered at no additional cost, or, for an additional fee, you may choose from custom and one-of-a-kind edges. Before you leave the shop, your slabs will be tagged so they will be ready when it comes time to create your beautiful new granite countertops.

Backsplashes

Our kitchens see a lot, from preparing meals to sharing time with friends and family, and this is why having a ceramic tile backsplash has become a frequent request among our clients. Its ability to withstand the sprays, spills, and thrills that are common around the kitchen sink, as well as its tremendous beauty, are what make backsplashes so popular. 

More reasons to love ceramic tile backsplash include: 

  • Easy maintenance and cleaning
  • Easily replaced
  • Environmentally conscious
  • Unlimited style and design options
  • Enhances your kitchen’s design esthetic
