Frequently Asked Questions

When you get new marble or granite countertops in FL, there are several things you can do to prepare for digital templating: 

1. All cabinets must be permanently fixed in place 
2. Remove everything from the countertop space 
3. Have all sinks on-site
4. Have all faucets and any other fixtures on-site 
5. Have all cooking appliances on-site, including downdraft if applicable (preferably NOT in place) 
6. Have any grommets on-site (e.g. a grommet would be used to finish holes cut for wires and cables in computer desks)

Our goal is to process and schedule your countertop for fabrication and installation as quickly as possible. Turnaround times may vary from project to project and can be better determined once our kitchen countertop contractors in FL have evaluated your specific needs. To avoid delays, ensure you are ready for templating.

Granite is a naturally occurring stone that has been extracted from the earth and was formed underground eons ago. Quartz is man-made from quartzite, resin, and pigments. Both stones are beautiful and will retain their everlasting beauty for many years to come. To learn more about the granite, quartz, and quartzite FL homeowners choose for their countertops, reach out to Alpha Granite & Marble today!

You can do a basic test by splashing some water on the surface. If the water beads, you do not have to re-seal the countertop. If the water absorbs into the stone after five minutes, you will need to re-seal the countertop. If you have any questions, reach out to our kitchen countertop contractors in FL!

Sealing is a simple at-home procedure; there is no need to hire professional kitchen countertop contractors in FL for sealing.

The process varies depending on the manufacturer, so follow directions accordingly. Most sealers require that you cover the surface and wait for a short period of time before wiping it down. To learn more about sealing your marble or granite countertops in FL, give us a call today!

Sealing the quartz and quartzite FL residents often choose for their countertops is not necessary because of the way it is manufactured.

Both granite and quartz require minimal care to maintain their natural beauty. To learn more about countertop maintenance, reach out to the expert kitchen countertop contractors FL residents trust.

Any spills should be promptly cleaned off the countertop to prevent staining. Red wine left overnight on a countertop may leave a stain, even on the marble and granite countertops FL residents love.

Some stains can be removed, but each situation needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If your countertop has seen better days, contact Alpha Granite & Marble for a granite countertop replacement in FL.
