If you’re remodeling a small kitchen or reconfiguring part of your layout, quartz remnants offer premium design at a fraction of the cost.

  • Consistent color and pattern

  • Great for galley kitchens, wet bars, or partial re-tops

3. Mid-Tier Quartz Selections

We stock affordable quartz colors that mimic high-end looks (like marble veining) without the high-end price.

  • Great for families and busy cooks

4. Granite Remnants

Perfect for replacing only part of a kitchen or repurposing an island.

  • Save on material cost with leftover cuts

Tips for Staying Under Budget
