Custom Millworks & Countertops

There are many factors to consider when choosing new countertops – from style and cost, to durability and maintenance requirements. The most common types of countertops are granite, quartz, quartzite, laminate, butcher block and even poured concrete. Here at MLC Contracting and Cabinetry, we offer a wide variety of countertop materials, styles and more. 

Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops are a relative newcomer to the game. Quartz countertops are engineered, allowing the manufacturers to control some of the issues with traditional stone materials. Quartz is wonderfully attractive and comes in a large variety of colors and designs. It is durable, non-porous and doesn’t chip or crack as easily as stone. The price tends to be on the higher side. 

Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are popular for a reason – they’re beautiful! They are elegant, durable and timeless. Granite is a natural stone, quarried and smoothed down for kitchen countertop use. It must be finished and sealed to protect the stone (and your family from possible bacteria). It is eco-friendly, as a natural option. The price can be high, of course, but the durability and quality balance that out. 

Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is a natural sandstone rock that is manually transformed into Quartzite through high heat and high pressure. The resulting finish is durable, strong and beautiful (often described as “sparkling”). Quartzite is a wonderful option for your kitchen countertop!

Poured Concrete Countertops
A relative newcomer to the countertop scene, poured concrete is quickly becoming a favorite of homeowners due to it’s durability, heat-resistent qualities and ease of maintenance. Poured concrete countertops look like mottled, natural stone. The color and pattern possibilities are nearly endless. You can even embed stones, glass, ceramic or other creative elements as a border. If you haven’t considered a poured concrete countertop, talk to us about this wonderful option!
