Marble and quartzite in Arlington Heights
If any town on our list is buying quartzite, it is this one. Arlington Heights carries the highest median property value of the twelve at $414,500, and the research on this market describes exactly the projects these materials are for: waterfall islands, full-height stone backsplashes, and owners upgrading builder granite to something premium.
The honest fit in Arlington Heights
A waterfall in quartzite is the most demanding thing we fabricate — a mitered corner, matched vein, and no room for error in a hard stone. It is also the single most convincing argument for a shop that cuts its own material rather than ordering pieces in.
What it costs in Arlington Heights
Same shop, same crew, same price in Arlington Heights as in every other town we serve — the 5.9 miles are not a line item.

Arlington Heights questions
Do you charge more in Arlington Heights than in towns closer to the shop?
No. Same shop, same crew, same published price in every town we serve — the 5.9 miles between Arlington Heights and 2260 Elmhurst Rd is our cost of doing business, not a line on your quote. What changes your number is square footage, edge profile, cutouts and how much tear-out there is, and none of those are about your ZIP code.
How do I know a slab sold as "quartzite" is real quartzite?
Ask the fabricator to acid-test a sample: put a drop of lemon juice or vinegar on it for 10-15 minutes — true quartzite will not etch, while dolomitic marble sold under names like "super white" often will. Also try scratching a hidden spot with a steel knife tip; real quartzite (~7 Mohs) resists it. This matters because mislabeled "soft quartzite" behaves like marble but is priced like quartzite.
I love marble backsplashes. Am I signing up for a maintenance headache?
Some, yes - marble is calcite, so tomato splatter, vinegar, lemon, and many spray cleaners etch dull marks into the surface, and unsealed marble can absorb oil stains near the cooktop. A backsplash is far more forgiving than a marble countertop because nothing sits on it and splatter can be wiped promptly; choose a honed finish that hides etching, seal it about once a year, and clean with stone-safe products only. If that regimen sounds unrealistic for your household, marble-look porcelain tile has become genuinely convincing and is nearly indestructible. The fair framing: marble ages into a patina while porcelain stays exactly as installed - decide which story you want on your wall.
