Everyone loves the look of marble—it’s one of the most classical beautiful materials in the natural world. Marble countertops will last for several lifetimes and always look naturally luminescent, making them an unceasingly popular choice for kitchen remodeling, custom kitchens, and craftsman renovation.

Unfortunately, marble is an absorbent stone that is more prone to staining than granite or quartz. For this Kirkland remodel, we installed a combination of marble and quartz countertops to give this Kirkland family the best of both worlds.

The kitchen island countertop is the made from classic Carrara marble from Italy—the same type of stone from which Michelangelo’s David or the Roman Pantheon were carved. Carrara instantly makes this Kirkland marble countertop look expensive and timeless. The surrounding L-shaped countertops, on the other hand, are made from an engineered stone of quartz called Carrara Grigio, which emulates the look of Carrara marble but without the vulnerability to staining that plagues marble countertops. To make this combination possible, we removed the countertop portion that previously jutted out into the main space, lengthened the countertop along the wall, and created a free-standing island parallel to the wall counter.

What we like

The wife in this Kirkland home loves to cook, and she’s also a huge fan of natural stone. She actually suggested a kitchen remodel that combines quartz and marble, and it’s perfect for her needs—quartz countertops are great for preparing foods because they are impervious to stains, but marble countertops can withstand heat from pots and pans, which will melt the resin in engineered quartz. Perfect for chefs who still want that gorgeous marble glow!

Our experience was great. We were happy with the whole purchasing process and all the people involved. The measurement and installation guys were professional and did a great job. They were on time with everything. From start to finish we had a truly great experience and would not hesitate recommend them to our friends.

On the very first day that we stepped into their showroom, Kurt greeted us and was very helpful. He made us feel very comfortable and took the time to answer all of our questions. Kurt was so patient with us as we asked so many dumb questions. We left that day feeling that this was truly one of our top choices to come back to.

I had a Birthday party a few weeks later and my friends love my granite countertops too! Because I was so pleased, I went back to Granite and Marble Specialties for a remnant (they have a lot of pieces for Vanities or small counter tops) for my bathroom vanity!! The people there are SO friendly, and patient with your questions.
