Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartz countertops here.

1. Is granite a natural stone?

Yes. Granite is a 100% natural stone formed deep within the earth over millions of years. Each slab is quarried from natural stone deposits, which means every granite countertop has its own unique pattern, movement, and color variation. No two granite surfaces are exactly alike.

2. Is granite a good choice for fireplaces and kitchens?

Granite is an excellent choice for both fireplaces and kitchens. It is highly heat resistant, extremely durable, and well-suited for areas exposed to daily use. Granite can handle high temperatures, making it ideal for fireplace surrounds, and it also performs well in kitchens where heat, spills, and wear are common.

3. How durable is granite compared to other countertop materials?

Granite is one of the most durable natural stone options available. It is highly resistant to scratches, heat, and everyday wear. While no surface is completely indestructible, granite holds up exceptionally well over time when properly fabricated and installed by a professional.

What our Customers are Saying

“We had our second project done with Stokes. Everything went smooth and installers did whole kitchen countertop and back splash done in a day and cleaned the space before leaving. The fabricator discount that Stokes gave us while buying the slabs helped us a lot to save money and to buy the slabs that we liked. Overall; I am happy working with them and I will reach out to them for any future project we may have.“

Past Customer

“Stokes just installed new quartz countertops in my kitchen, laundry room and half bathroom. What a transformation to my house! The installation crew did an outstanding job. They were careful, courteous, friendly, and it was fun to watch the pros at work. Mike did a perfect job making the templates. Ashley was delightful to work with on all the paperwork and scheduling. I couldn’t be happier with everyone at Stokes. I happily give the my highest recommendation and would call them first in the future!“
