Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between quartz, granite, marble, and quartzite?
Quartz is an engineered surface that is non-porous, consistent in appearance, and low-maintenance. Granite and quartzite are natural stones that are very durable with unique veining and need periodic sealing, while marble offers a distinctive classic look but is softer and more prone to scratching and etching from acids. The best choice depends on the look you want and how much everyday maintenance you are comfortable with.
Which countertop is best for a busy kitchen?
For heavy daily cooking, many homeowners favor engineered quartz because it resists stains and does not require sealing, or a hard natural stone like quartzite. Marble is beautiful but takes more care around acidic foods and spills, so it is often better suited to lower-traffic areas or homeowners who accept a lived-in patina. We help you weigh durability against the look you are after.
Do natural stone countertops need to be sealed?
Natural stones such as granite, quartzite, and marble are porous to varying degrees and generally benefit from periodic sealing to resist staining, with the frequency depending on the specific stone and how it is used. Engineered quartz is non-porous and does not need sealing. We will tell you what your chosen surface requires so there are no surprises after installation.
How does the templating and installation process work?
After your cabinets are set, we template the surfaces to capture exact measurements, then the slabs are fabricated and cut to those specifications before installation. Because Olive + Baxter manages selection, fabrication, and installation together, there is no miscommunication between separate vendors. That coordination is what keeps seams, overhangs, and cutouts precise.
What is an edge profile and does it affect the price?
The edge profile is the finished shape along the exposed edges of your countertop, ranging from clean contemporary edges to more ornate traditional ones. It is largely a design choice that sets the character of the surface, and more elaborate profiles can involve additional fabrication. We help you match the profile to your overall style during selection.
