Remodeling?
A new look doesn’t require a new home.
And a new look doesn’t have to be expensive. Natural stone is not only a beautiful and durable surface it is also highly sustainable
and enhances the economic value of your home. A granite countertop in a kitchen or bathroom will last the entirety of a building’s
lifespan. Natural stone for most homes increases the selling value compared to homes with laminate countertops.
There are many options for beginning to invest equity into your home with natural stone with out over spending.
Start small
Begin with a master bathroom or small bathroom vanities that do not require as much initial material compared to a kitchen. One slab
could easily complete 2-3 bathroom vanities. In the kitchen, start with one area first, such as the island or bar. Pick materials that
can be matched exact later or mixed with a different color for the rest.

Mix and match
Often the dramatic look of a stone is the most desired, though even the simplest patterns can be equally stunning. Selecting an exotic
stone as a focus piece, such as on an island and pairing it with a generally less expensive stone that will come across more subtle
not only can help reduce costs, but also breaks up the look of your room. Additionally, adding a tile back splash which compliments
your stone can help add a refined look if you’re working with a less expensive stone which might have more homogenous characteristics.
Check for sales
Single slabs from suppliers, remnants from fabricators, general inventory sales, and installation sales come and go for all companies.
