It’s finally time to tackle that big kitchen or bath remodel – how exciting! It seems like all you have to do is pick out the prettiest countertop, right? NOPE.

Stone counters used to be seen only in very high-end projects. Today, they are the standard choice for just about any budget. The options available are truly astounding – from natural stone with all of its beautiful characteristics to quartz and other man-made products that are more durable and stain resistant than ever, the industry has come a long way. Your countertop is usually one of the most prominent visual focal points of the room. We suggest starting your remodel with your stone selections and planning the rest from there. Purchasing stone is still an investment, though and since it is also the star of the show, it is critical to have your counters fabricated and installed by experienced professionals.

Hire it Done partner Hard Rock Stone Works sets the industry standard not only for selection and experience, but for customer service and continuous employee training. If you’re in Michigan – lucky you! You can just go to hireitdone.com or hardrockstoneworks.com and get your project started! If not, we’ll teach you what to look for in your area.
