The countertops in your home are an important decision that will be in your home for years to come. While you might have an ideal look or material in mind, it’s critical to get all the facts. The right type of stone for your home depends a great deal on your lifestyle.
For example, if you do most of your own cooking, you will want a material that is heat and stain-resistant. If you have small children around the house, you would probably be wise to choose a stone that resists scratches.
At GMS Kitchen, we always begin with an in-home estimate where we can take measurements and learn more about your project. While the final choice is always up to you, our experienced team can make recommendations based on our record of successful projects. Our goal is to give you countertops that will look beautiful and endure many years of use.
GMS Kitchen, LLC installs countertops from three materials: granite, marble, and Silestone. Although they have similarities, it is important to know how their differences can affect how they function in your home.
Granite is a volcanic rock formed by slowly cooling magma. This process results in a variety of sparkling crystals in the material. The varieties of minerals in the rock determine the colors of the flecks found throughout its surface. Its natural durability makes it resistant to stains, scratches, and heat damage, making it a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when sedimentary rocks like limestone undergo heat and pressure over time. During the process, other minerals develop as veins within the material, adding strokes of color and pattern. Because marble is a softer rock, it is more susceptible to scratches and stains in the kitchen. The material also requires regular sealing applications.
Silestone is a manufactured material made by combining quartz crystals and other materials in a hard resin. This technique allows for a wide variety of patterns and colors. Silestone countertops are a popular choice in kitchens because they are heat and stain-resistant. However, they are sensitive to UV light, so they are not typically used in outdoor countertops.
Taking intentional steps before the installation ensures positive results for our clients. The GMS Kitchen process has developed over years of hard work and satisfied clients.
We go to your location, take measurements, and make material recommendations based on your home and lifestyle.
You will choose your material from a local supplier, finding colors and patterns to match your setting and personal style.
We examine the material, notify you of any issues we find, determine the ideal shape, and provide a final project cost.
We cut and smooth the stone at our offsite location, ensuring a consistent appearance and minimizing the disruption of the installation process.

Installing granite, marble or Silestone countertops is a significant undertaking, so you want to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Here are some of the common questions we receive from our customers.
The right material for your kitchen countertops depends on how you use it. If you do a fair amount of food preparation, Silestone or granite might be better choices than marble.
We install both indoor and outdoor kitchen countertops. In the bathroom, we can provide stone vanity tops as well as accents for your sink and bathtub.
As with any counter surface, you want to wipe any spills as soon as possible to prevent staining. Regular sealant treatments for marble and granite surfaces will increase their stain resistance.
The color and pattern of marble and granite countertops depends the minerals in the area they were quarried. As a manufactured material, Silestone counters come in a wide range of consistent colors.
The high pressure involved in the creation of marble and granite leads to small fissures and pits. These imperfections will not compromise the performance of the material and demonstrate its natural origins.
