Countertops

Your countertops play a starring role in your kitchen design. They set the style and tone for the entire kitchen or bathroom with their material, color, veining, edge, and more. There is a vast range of countertop options available to enhance the style and functionality of any home. These range from granite to engineered quartz, marble, natural wood tops, and plastic laminates like Formica and Wilsonart.

With so many options available, choosing a countertop may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Start by asking yourself questions to better understand your requirements, like:

  • What is my preferred style?
  • How much can I spend?
  • What is my lifestyle?
  • Am I willing to follow a specialized cleaning and maintenance routine?

The key to finding the perfect countertop choice for your kitchen design is to select an option that balances your style and functional needs. Some materials like marble or wood have a natural beauty that can’t be beaten, but they require specialized cleaning and ongoing maintenance. Make sure you are happy to keep up with these requirements before committing to a material like this.  Other surfaces are more durable, stain-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free, which might suit a busy household with young kids better. If you love to entertain, you will look for a countertop that is the perfect marriage of style and convenience.  For avid chefs or bakers, choose a surface that is hard-working, durable, and won’t stand in the way of whipping up your favorite dishes.

The knowledgeable team at McDaniels Kitchen and Bath can help you choose the perfect countertop for your kitchen design. You can view dozens of countertops on display at McDaniels’ showroom. Come in to see, feel, and find the exact countertop you are looking for!

Granite

Granite has long been a top choice for kitchen countertops and is a luxurious and sophisticated choice for any style kitchen. It is a beautiful, natural material, so every slab of granite is unique. Granite is one of the hardest materials in the world, making it extremely hard-wearing, and resistant to scratches, heat, and stains. It is a porous material, so it must be resealed annually to maintain its appearance.

Quartz

Quartz is another highly durable surface, and it is nonporous, which means it can stand up to high-moisture areas, as well as spills and splatters. It also can withstand heat, impact, and sharp objects making it one of the most durable materials available for countertops. Best of all, quartz has nearly unlimited options for colors and patterns and can imitate other natural materials. It is even virtually maintenance free as it requires no sealing or special care, just a simple regular cleaning routine.

Wood

Wood countertops bring a natural, unparalleled beauty and warmth to any kitchen design. There are many varieties to choose from, and each wood countertop will be unique depending on the wood species, finish, and the natural variations in the wood grain. It does require more careful maintenance and cleaning as it can be damaged. It is not nonporous so it must be resealed regularly, and it may need to be refinished over time.

Laminate

Laminate countertops are a more affordable option and come in a limitless variety of style options, colors, and patterns. It is also a lightweight material, which means it is easier and less expensive to install. Laminate is stain-resistant and easy-to-maintain, though it can be scratched, dented, and damaged by hot objects.

Vanessa Sepeter was excellent pulling together our vision for our master bath. The entire process from start to completion was very good. The Granite contractors were considerate, professional, friendly and cleaned the work area every day. Stephen Uhl listened, and was responsive to our questions and was also very professional. We are 100% thrilled with our new master bath. Bob and Christie Fell

Awesome experience with Nicole at McDaniels! Not only did she design our entire 1st floor, she went above and beyond by helping us with the details like paint colors, furnishings, artwork, light fixtures and decorative extras to make everything come together beautifully.

We have been using McDaniels for our primary residence cabinetry needs since 1989, and we still love them. When it came to remodeling our cottage at Higgins Lake we were happy to hear McDaniels would service and deliver to us in northern Michigan. Even more delighted we were able to get all of our remodel project materials in one place: cabinetry, countertops, faucet, hardware, as well as our vinyl plank flooring. We were able to use our own contractor from up north and our own favorite supplier back home. Julie J. was patient, provided guidance, and really listened to what we wanted. Our requests were not for the popular selections most people favor, but more of a cottage/cabin feel. We are delighted with the transformation! Even our contractor complimented us on the quality of the Diamond cabinets we selected. Thanks McDaniels!

We used McDaniels Kitchen and Bath for our kitchen remodel. Wow! They knocked it out of the park! Our designer, Dave, came up with a plan that fit our needs and allowed us to use our space in a way we would not have imagined. He was very creative and listened to what we wanted. We visited the showroom and had a difficult choosing our cabinets from the vast collection. So many choices! With their help, we made the right choice and our new kitchen looks fabulous! Everyone was great to work with from the designer and office staff to the warehouse and delivery person. I would highly recommend this business to my friends and family.

Julie Johnson was our designer for our total kitchen remodel. It is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was very responsive of our wishes and needs. The whole job stayed completely on schedule and we did not have one day of delay. Granite Construction did the installation and they were also as fantastic as McDaniels and Julie. I added some before and after photos but they don't do justice to the amount of work that was done and the joy I feel working in my new kitchen. Don't hesitate, use McDaniels!!
