Quartz vs. Quartzite: What’s the Difference (and Which One Is Right for Your Kitchen)?
Quartz and quartzite may look similar at first glance, but they perform very differently in a real kitchen. From maintenance and durability to cost and design, understanding these differences can help you make the right choice for your home in Bluffton or Hilton Head.
Do You Paint Cabinets Before Installing Countertops? Why Most Professionals Recommend Painting After Countertop Installation
Countertop installation is a precise, heavy-duty process—stone slabs are lifted, positioned, leveled, and seamed, often with tools and adjustments close to cabinet surfaces. Even with careful installers, bumps and dust can happen, and freshly painted cabinets are easy to scratch, chip, or scuff.
Paint is simple to touch up. Stone isn’t. Installing countertops first protects your finish and lets you choose cabinet paint that truly matches the final look of the slab.
