Whether you are planning a total makeover or simply refreshing your space in Bergen County and surrounding areas with a new countertop, we've put together this quick guide on the best countertop materials to help homeowners, like you, on your remodeling journey.
1. Certified Granite

Granite is a natural stone material, found deep underground, that is prized for its unique earth-originated patterns that ebb and flow in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. If you’re looking for the finest countertop colors, there’s a Granite certified by Kitchen Magic, quarried from small mines in Italy, Brazil, India and in the U.S.A, powered by a limited lifetime warranty. Remember, however, that granite is literally removed from the earth, therefore you will not be able to achieve the consistency of pattern and color as with man-made options.
2. Laminates: A whole new world of possibilities
Whether on a budget or just looking for more creative solutions for your countertop surface, durable laminate countertops by renowned Formica® and stunning WilsonArt® HD offer smart, cost-effective options. Laminates today are affordable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. Plus, they are available in a plethora of colors and designs, including wood and stone finishes.
3. The Quest for Quartz,
Durable, reliable and practically maintenance-free, quartz countertops will continue to be in high demand for years to come. Whether choosing a slab of natural quartz or luxurious engineered quartz from leading brands such as prestigious Cambria® and luxe Hanstone®, quartz products offer an eco-friendly solution with real design appeal to your kitchen. Quartz is ultra sanitary, easy to clean and available in an endless array of colors and patterns.
4. Maintenance-free solid surfaces
Engineered solid surfaces, like high-quality Corian®, provide homeowners with a uniquely seamless countertop appearance. Corian was first introduced by DuPont™ in 1971 when one of their researchers discovered an advanced method for blending natural minerals with pure acrylic resin, creating an ideal surface for kitchen and bath countertops. Non-porous, stain resistant and easy to maintain, Corian® will maintain its appearance while surviving the impact of nicks and cuts that can occur with daily usage.
