Marble and quartzite in Mount Prospect

At a $397,400 median property value, Mount Prospect sits on the higher end for the area, and its 20-to-30-linear-foot L-shaped kitchens are big enough to carry a serious material. Quartzite is the realistic option in that footprint; marble is a decision about how you cook.

The honest fit in Mount Prospect

Twenty-plus linear feet of quartzite also means two slabs, selected together from the same block. That is not a problem, but it is a shopping trip rather than an order form, and worth building into your timeline.

Mount Prospect questions

Do you charge more in Mount Prospect than in towns closer to the shop?

No. Same shop, same crew, same published price in every town we serve — the 5.3 miles between Mount Prospect 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.

What is the difference between quartz and quartzite?

Despite the names, they are opposites: quartz is a factory-made slab of ground stone in resin, while quartzite is natural metamorphosed sandstone cut from the earth. Quartzite is harder than granite, takes hot pans, and delivers the marble look without marble softness — but it is natural stone, so it needs periodic sealing, runs roughly $70-$150/sq ft installed (2026 guides), and some stone sold as "quartzite" is actually softer marble-family rock, so ask your fabricator to verify with a glass-scratch or acid test. If you want zero maintenance, that is quartz; if you want a one-of-a-kind stone and can live with resealing, quartzite earns its premium.

Why does my marble counter have dull rings and spots even though I sealed it?

Those are etch marks, not stains — a chemical reaction where acids (lemon, wine, tomato, vinegar, even some cleaners) dissolve a microscopic layer of the marble itself. Sealer only slows liquids from soaking in; it cannot stop a surface reaction, which is why sealed marble still etches. Light etching on polished marble can be buffed out with marble polishing powder; deep or widespread etching needs professional re-honing. If you are still choosing your finish, honed marble hides etching far better than polished.
