The expert fabricators and installers of Countertops Express are specialized in dealing with both commercial and residential bathroom and kitchen.

Natural stone is a good choice for updating your home’s kitchen and bathroom countertops. It lends beauty to the room, is available in a wide range of colors, can be customized to nearly any shape and size, and is easy to blend with any type of home decor, making it versatile no matter what the style of your home is.

Granite and marble are the most popular choices when it comes to natural stone countertops. There are pros and cons to using each material, so it’s just a matter of deciding what’s right for your needs as well as your budget. Marble, for example, is elegant in appearance, while granite offers a more natural look. Both options can be costly, with marble generally being more expensive than granite, and their size and weight typically require professional installation.
