Choose your city
Louisiana's housing stock, particularly in areas like New Orleans, features many older homes with unique architectural details. Countertop selection should consider the high humidity. Quartz's non-porous nature makes it an excellent choice, resisting moisture and mold. Our process begins with an on-site evaluation of your kitchen. We take precise measurements of your existing cabinetry and discuss any structural considerations. This detailed planning ensures your quartz countertops are fabricated to fit perfectly, enhancing both the beauty and functionality of your Louisiana kitchen.
Common questions
What is the 1 3 rule for cabinets?
The 1-3-2 rule pertains to the precise placement of cabinet drawer slides for optimal performance. Ensuring cabinets are level and structurally sound is crucial before we template for countertops. We verify this during our New Orleans assessments.
Where's the cheapest place to buy cabinets?
Cabinet pricing varies by material, construction method, and customization. Factors include the type of wood, hardware, and finish. We can help you select quality cabinets that complement your chosen countertops within your budget.
What colors make a kitchen look expensive?
Rich, deep tones or subtle, natural patterns often create a luxurious feel. Quartz in shades of deep espresso, charcoal, or a soft, marbled white can significantly enhance a kitchen's perceived value. We help you find a color that suits your New Orleans home.
Which is better, quartz or granite?
Quartz is engineered, offering consistent color and pattern, and is non-porous, resisting stains and bacteria. Granite is a natural stone with unique variations and requires sealing. For Louisiana's humid climate, quartz's moisture resistance is a key advantage. We'll discuss your priorities.
What is the downside of granite countertops?
Granite is porous and can absorb liquids if not sealed regularly, leading to potential staining. It can also be susceptible to chipping under impact. We explain the maintenance requirements for homeowners considering granite in New Orleans.
How does Louisiana's humidity affect countertop installation?
High humidity can slow the curing process of adhesives and sealants. We schedule installations during drier periods and use specific products to ensure proper bonding and a durable finish. This is critical for long-lasting countertops in Louisiana's climate.
