FAQs
WHAT IS MARBLE?
Marble is a natural stone formed from limestone under high heat and pressure over thousands of years. Known for its luxurious appearance, marble features unique veins and patterns that make each slab one-of-a-kind.
IS MARBLE THE BEST MATERIAL FOR COUNTERTOPS?
It depends. We can safely say marble is a better choice for your kitchen countertops compared to something like laminate, however when it comes to comparing marble with other stone options such as granite, quartz and porcelain, it comes down to needs and personal taste. Choose marble countertops if you’re going for luxury, timeless beauty, and don’t mind investing in care and maintenance.
HOW MUCH DO MARBLE COUNTERTOPS COST?
The cost of marble countertops can vary widely based on a number of factors (size, rareness of pattern, installation needs etc.), but as a ballpark installed marble countertops typically run from $60 per square feet on the low end to $130+ per square feet on the high end.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL MARBLE COUNTERTOPS?
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, installing marble countertops typically takes 2–5 days from start to finish including measuring, templating, cutting, finishing edges, and securing the countertops in place.
HOW LONG DO MARBLE COUNTERTOPS LAST?
Marble countertops are a long-lasting investment when properly cared for. With regular maintenance, including sealing and prompt attention to stains or scratches, marble countertops can last 50 years or more.
DO MARBLE COUNTERTOPS NEED TO BE SEALED?
Yes, marble countertops should be sealed to protect them from stains, etching, and moisture damage.
Marble is a porous natural stone, so without a protective sealant, liquids like wine, juice, or oil can penetrate the surface and cause permanent marks.
We seal your marble countertops during installation, but to maintain their beauty and durability, we recommend reapplying a high-quality sealer every 6–12 months, depending on usage and the type of marble.
CAN MARBLE COUNTERTOPS BE REPAIRED?
Yes, marble countertops can be repaired if they become chipped, scratched, or stained. Minor scratches can often be polished out by a professional, while deeper chips or cracks may require filling with a color-matched epoxy or resin.
HOW TO REMOVE STAINS FROM MARBLE COUNTERTOPS?
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, combined with periodic sealing, keeps marble countertops looking pristine for years.
- Blot spills immediately
- Use a mild cleaner
- Try a poultice for stubborn stains
- Rinse and dry after cleaning
