Frequently Asked Questions

1.) What are the advantages of Granite Counters over solid surfaces?

  • Price is similar
  • Scratch and wear resistant
  • Heat resistant (hot pots, cigarettes)
  • Beautiful natural colors
  • High shine does not wear off

2.) What do you do about seams in Granite Counters?
  • We make sure our customers know that their counter will have seams
  • We discuss with the customers where there will be seams
  • We try to lay out the kitchen so the seams are as inconspicuous as possible
  • With the beauty of natural stone your eyes do not focus on seams

3.) I like Ceramic Tile, but how do I keep the grout clean?
  • Grouts now have a polymer-modified Portland cement blend which provides hard, uniformly colored, wear resistant joints with greater bond and compressive strength than normal sanded grout
  • We recommend that you seal your grout with the HMK products every six months
