We recommend sealing natural stone annually for optimal maintenance.

• Start with clean countertops
• Apply a small amount of sealer directly onto the stone surface.  
• Work on approximately a 4-foot section at a time to avoid overwhelming the process.
• While wearing rubber cleaning gloves, disperse the sealer evenly on the tops, edges, and backsplash if applicable
• Allow sealer to absorb into the stone for a about 2 minutes
• Use a rag, such as an old T-shirt to prevent lint from being left behind in the sealant, to wipe up excess sealer
• Repeat this process until all areas of the stone are adequately sealed

To clean granite countertops use a mild dish soap and water, EvoOxy or any other cleaner for natural stone. Blot up spills immediately

Quartz countertops should be cleaned by using a mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive material that could scratch the quartz surface.

Granite is natural stone mined from quarries. Each slab of granite is unique with variation in color, pattern & veining. Granite is a durable stone that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. Because it is a porous stone it will need to be sealed annually to protect it from absorbing liquids, oils and bacteria. 

Quartz is a non-porous, engineered stone made from a combination of the most durable mineral in granite, which is crushed quartz crystals & resin. The quartz content typically ranges from 90%-95% with the remaining percentage consisting of resin and pigments. Quartz countertops are low-maintenance and easy to clean as they do not require sealing. We recommend using a trivet or hot pad when placing pans or crockpots on a quartz countertop to prevent cracking.

Granite is durable however some cleaning products should be avoided. Avoid using any cleaners that contain acids such as vinegar, lemon juice or ammonia as they can dull the shine of the stone over time. Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners.

Stay away from all abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and any other material that can scratch the surface.  Stick to mild dish soap and water for every day cleaning.

Quartz is durable however some cleaning products should be avoided such as any harsh chemicals, bleach, oven cleaner, soft scrub, comet or any other abrasive cleaners.  These can damage the resin in the quartz and dull its shine. Other products to be avoided include but are not limited to magic erasers, S.O.S. pads, products with pumice, batteries, paint removers or furniture strippers. Quartz is prone to cracking from heat exposure. A trivet or cutting board should always be used between heat sources and a quartz countertop.

For Daily Cleaning:

– Wet and squeeze some dish soap onto the soft side of a sponge

– Wipe the Silgranit surface in small, circular motions. 

– Rinse with clean water and dry with a microfiber cloth

For Deep/Weekly Cleaning:

– Wet the surface of the sink

– Cover in a thin layer of powdered Bar Keepers Friend

– Wet a Green Scotch Brite pad and work the powder into a paste. 

– Scrub the surface of your sink really hard. You CANNOT damage your sink by doing this. 

– Rinse and repeat as needed. 

Granite comes in a wide range of pricing. The price of granite countertops will be determined by a combination of factors. The first factor is the price of your stone slab. Stone is not priced on its appearance or durability. Granite is mined from quarries around the world. The more rare or exotic the granite, the harder it can be to find and this will affect the final cost of the slabs. All stone, including granite, is priced on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the least expensive and 5 being the most, this scale is used by stone suppliers and Evolution Design

Complexity of the fabrication and installation is another factor in overall pricing of your project. Every job is custom,meaning fabrication and installation prices will be affected by features such as custom edge profiles, intricate cuts and complexity of the installation.  

Evolution can put a custom quote together once they have measurements and selections as all the fabrication and installation is custom.

Quartz comes in a wide range of pricing. The price of quartz countertops will be determined by a combination of factors. The first factor is the price of your quartz slab. Slabs prices are based on supply and demand, brand name, and aesthetic appeal. Not all quartz brands are created equal. Some brands are well-known for their quality, reliability, and producing a higher caliber product this quality will be reflected in slab pricing.

Marble is one of the softest stones. Over time, your stone will etch, giving it a natural patina.

Marble has a timeless quality that never expires.

Marble is one of the most heat resistant countertop surfaces.

To keep your stone from etching, avoid putting anything acidic on the stone. Acid will etch marble.

Porcelain slabs have a relatively consistent finish and will not have pitting fissures, etc.

Porcelain slabs are prone to chipping during fabrication

Porcelain slabs are lightweight, durable and suitable tof floor, accent walls, showers, backsplashes and countertops
