Types of Kitchen Countertops We Install

Picking the right countertop material is important for your kitchen’s look and use. Future Generation Construction helps Sacramento homeowners find the perfect fit for their lifestyle, style, and budget. Each material has its own benefits.

Quartz Countertops

This man-made stone is made from quartz crystals and resins, making it strong and non-porous. It fights off stains, scratches, and bacteria, and never needs sealing.

Quartz comes in many colors and patterns, giving you a uniform look without the differences you see in natural stone. It’s perfect for busy families who want a beautiful kitchen without much work.

Granite Countertops

A natural stone with unique patterns in every slab. Granite handles heat very well, making it great for cooking. It also resists scratches and chips and can last for decades.

Granite needs sealing every 1-2 years to protect against stains.

Marble Countertops

Offers a beautiful, elegant look with unique veining. Its naturally cool surface is great for baking. Marble is more porous and softer than other stones, needing more careful care.

It can mark from acidic foods and needs regular sealing to prevent stains.

Quartzite Countertops

This natural gives you the beautiful look of marble with strength closer to granite. It’s hard and dense, fighting off scratches, heat, and marks better than marble.

Quartzite still needs sealing from time to time.

Butcher Block Countertops

Made from bonded wood pieces, these add warmth and natural character. They are gentle on knives.

While they can get water damage and scratches, these often add to their rustic charm. Regular oiling is needed to stop drying and cracking. Butcher block can also be used as an extra surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost to replace kitchen countertops in Sacramento?

In Sacramento County, kitchen countertop replacement typically costs between $2,000 and $5,500, depending on material choice, square footage, and complexity. Laminate countertops start around $40-$60 per square foot installed, while quartz and granite range from $70-$120 per square foot installed. Premium materials like marble can cost $100-$200+ per square foot installed. Most Sacramento homeowners with average-sized kitchens (40-60 square feet of countertop space) invest between $3,000-$4,500 for quality quartz or granite installation. We provide detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific kitchen measurements and material preferences.

How long does the countertop replacement process take from start to finish?

The complete countertop replacement process typically takes 1-3 weeks from initial consultation to completed installation. After your initial consultation and material selection, templating usually occurs within 3-5 business days. Fabrication then takes 5-10 business days, depending on material availability and complexity. The actual installation is completed in just one day for most Sacramento kitchens. However, some specialty materials or complex projects with multiple islands or unusual shapes may require additional time. We’ll provide you with a specific timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

What's the difference between quartz and granite?

The main differences between quartz and granite are composition, maintenance, and appearance. Granite is a natural stone quarried from the earth, featuring unique patterns and variations in every slab. It requires periodic sealing (typically annually) to maintain its resistance to stains and bacteria. Quartz is an engineered stone made from approximately 90% ground natural quartz combined with resins and pigments. This makes quartz non-porous and maintenance-free—it never needs sealing. Quartz offers more consistent patterns and a wider range of colors, while granite provides one-of-a-kind natural beauty. Both materials are highly durable and heat-resistant, though granite has slightly better heat resistance while quartz offers superior stain resistance.

Do I need to seal my new countertops, and how often?

Sealing requirements depend entirely on your countertop material. Quartz countertops never need sealing as they’re non-porous by design. Natural stone countertops like granite, marble, and quartzite should be sealed regularly to prevent staining and bacterial growth. For granite countertops in Sacramento kitchens, we recommend sealing annually, though some high-quality sealers can last up to 3-5 years. Marble and quartzite typically require more frequent sealing—every 6 months for marble and annually for quartzite. Butcher block countertops need regular oiling with food-safe mineral oil every 1-3 months to prevent drying and cracking. Laminate countertops don’t require sealing. Our installation team will apply the initial sealer to all natural stone countertops and provide you with specific care instructions for your chosen material.

Can you install a new sink at the same time as the countertops?

Yes, we absolutely can and recommend installing a new sink during your countertop replacement. In fact, it’s the ideal time to upgrade your sink since the countertop will be custom-cut to fit your specific sink model. We offer a variety of sink styles including undermount, drop-in, and farmhouse sinks to complement your new countertops. If you’re keeping your existing sink, we can accommodate that as well, though we recommend upgrading to a new sink if your current one is older than 8-10 years. Our team handles the complete sink installation, including connecting the plumbing, ensuring everything is properly sealed and functional before we consider the job complete.

What do I need to do to prepare my kitchen for installation day?

To prepare for your countertop installation day, please clear all items from your existing countertops, empty the cabinets directly beneath the countertop areas, and remove any fragile items from nearby shelves or walls. Ensure there’s a clear path from your home’s entrance to the kitchen for our installation team to transport materials. Disconnect any plumbing to sinks or cooktops (or we can arrange for a plumber if needed). We recommend keeping children and pets away from the work area during installation. Our team will protect your flooring and cabinets with coverings, but removing obstacles helps ensure a smooth, efficient installation process. We’ll provide a detailed preparation checklist during your pre-installation consultation to make sure everything goes perfectly on installation day.
