How Do I Choose the Right Kitchen Countertop Material?

When it comes to kitchen renovations, the right kitchen countertop can completely elevate your home. With so many options out there, it can be hard to know what you and your renovation contractor should prioritize. Whether you’re looking for a showstopping design or something that can handle everything your family throws at it, there’s a countertop out there that’s right for you.

Here are some factors you should consider when choosing the right countertop material for your kitchen.

Durability and Maintenance

kitchen renovation contractors No matter the vision you have for your kitchen renovation, it’s crucial that your choices are always practical. Keep in mind how you use your kitchen and how often before making any decisions on your countertop materials. Some materials are stain resistant and, therefore, much easier to clean. Whereas others may be more durable and last you a longer amount of time.

Style and Design

Your countertop should perfectly tie in with the rest of your kitchen. From cabinets to accent details, your countertop should effortlessly fit in with every piece. However, that doesn’t mean it should be easy to miss. Bold colours and design can take your kitchen to a whole new level, but it’s important that whatever you choose feel like a seamless addition.

Kitchen Renovation Budget

As with everything in a kitchen renovation, every choice you make has to fit into your budget. However, that shouldn’t mean you have to sacrifice your vision. Experienced renovation contractors like those at Rose Building Group can help you find the best quality countertop materials so you can build your dream kitchen without breaking the bank.

What Our Clients Say

Matthew conveyed knowledge and professionalism from the start. We had a vision for the bedroom, he listened, provided insight and laid out the project from start to finish. Updates were provided regularly and the work was completed as promised, on budget and finished only one day past the original completion date … which is probably more than “on time” in the industry given all the variables involved. We do not hesitate to recommend Rose Building Group and thank them for making our vision a reality.

We are thrilled with the results of Rose Building Group. Mr Rose was highly communicative, explaining each step and prepping us for upcoming stages throughout our major renovation. Every member of his team was professional, hard working, and completed work on schedule.
What I especially appreciated was Mr Rose’ was ability to work with us to manage our expectations during the renovations, his excellent attention to detail, and his presence/availability throughout the project. Excellent work with an excellent team.

I recently hired Rose Building Group to removed and replace an exterior door in my home.
Matt suggested different options that would allow them to to do the job properly, make my home more secure and stay within my budget. Matt explained in detail, what the job would entail. The work was performed professionally and in a timely manner. The guys even went the extra mile to repair another door they noticed was out of adjustment. My home was left neat and tidy when all the work was finished. I had no concerns about leaving them in the house while I was away at work.

Matt’s professional, no nonsense approach really helps to reduce the stress of home renovations and shows that he really cares about his customers.
I will be recommending Rose Building Group to my all friends and family. I am already planning to hire Rose Building Group for a future basement renovation.

I have dealt with contractors in the past where it was very clear they only cared about the money. Working with Rose Building Group was a breath of fresh air! Matt and his staff were supportive, friendly, and catering to my requests, while also providing valuable insight that helped enhance my space even further.

Rose Building Group recently renovated my kitchen, and I am so thrilled with the outcome. From beginning to end Matt was nothing but supportive, helpful and truthful. Even when surprises came up during the demolition (as they often do with older homes), Matt was incredibly transparent and provided me with options to deal with the issues that arose. With previous contractors, I have felt bullied into a decision and then charged unfairly for the work. Matt was always very clear about his approach, and was always willing to hear my concerns and opinions. He understood it is my kitchen, and while I may not know all the rules of the trade, I know what I want in the end product.

Rose Building Group delivered on their promises. Having to order countertops often stretches out the build time. Rose Building Group worked around my schedule to minimize the time I was without a kitchen. Although it was only three weeks of actual work, Matt told me up front the actual build is largely dependent on the timeframe for the countertop so it was likely a 6-8 week project. This allowed me to create realistic expectations of when my kitchen would be finished, which allowed me to budget my time and costs accordingly.

I truly feel Matt treated my home renovation as if he were renovating his own. He spent a lot of attention to detail and assured the end product was exactly what I was hoping for. Although Matt wasn’t the lowest quote I received, I believe the end result and the ease of the process made it worth the extra cost. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Had Matthew come in to construct an addition to our wall to mount our TV onto as well as insert a fireplace underneath with the ledge stone finish. Did a great job and we’re very happy with the result.

Very professional and considerate of our home ensuring everything got swept up and nothing damaged. Friendly crew and had no issues at all.

Highest Quality, Timely and as Promised

I was very apprehensive taking on such a big project to renovate my main washroom. Matthew sensed this and did everything he could to make me feel more comfortable with the process by explaining detail by detail, opened to all my questions and suggestions. I appreciated this.
He also provided me with a day to day project plan which helped me along the journey and everything was delivered as promised. Having access to his resources helped me not only by having expertise in plumbing and tiling for which there is so much to choose from. I found these individuals amazing to work with, once again same style of listening and putting together the right options, making suggestions, that worked out beautifully and with discounts!!!
Our journey is now completed and the bathroom is even better than could have imagined and professionally finished that truly supports value for work and costs.
I would recommend Matthew Rose and his company.

Many Thanks,
