Materials & Finishes

From Practical to Premium

Countertops

Quartz

Most popular. Non-porous, extremely durable, maintenance-free. Hundreds of colors and patterns. Best long-term value.

Granite

Natural stone with unique character. Each slab is one of a kind. Requires annual sealing. Heat resistant.

Butcher Block

Warm, natural feel. Popular for kitchen islands. Requires oiling. Best for low-moisture areas.

Porcelain Slab

Ultra-thin, ultra-durable. Great for dramatic large-format looks. Scratch and heat resistant.

Cabinets

Semi-Custom

The sweet spot for most remodels. Wide selection of door styles, finishes, and configurations with shorter lead times than full custom.

Stock Cabinets

Budget-friendly, fast availability. Best for straightforward layouts. Quality varies — we source from reliable manufacturers.

Custom Cabinetry

Built to your exact specifications. Any size, any finish, any hardware. Best for unusual layouts or premium projects.

Cabinet Refacing

Keep existing cabinet boxes, replace doors and drawer fronts. Fraction of the cost of full replacement with a near-complete look update.
