Choosing your countertops in Abbotsford
When buying your new kitchen countertops, there are a few key factors you may want to consider. There are many suppliers and contractors serving Abbotsford area and go with one you can trust. These are elements in your home you really want done right the first time.
The most important thing is the material you go with. Some of the most popular choices are granite, quartz, marble. These are the ones Canstar specializes supplying and installing.
Each material has unique properties and characteristics that may make one a better choice for certain applications over another. For example, marble is a natural stone that is known for its elegant, veined appearance, but it is also relatively soft and porous (more susceptible to staining and damage if not properly sealed and maintained).
What materials are popular?
Marble, quartz, and granite are all high-quality materials that add beauty and value to your home. They are all popular choices as they are attractive and can withstand daily wear and tear.
Granite is a popular choice for kitchen countertops but it can be a little more expensive than other options.
What style of countertop should you use?
Another factor is the style and color of the countertops. The style and color of the countertops should complement the overall design of the kitchen and fit in with the rest of the decor. It may be a good idea to go a neutral color or pattern that will not go out of style, as countertops are usually a long-term investment.
How do I calculate my budget for my countertops?
In addition to the material and style, you need to meet your budget. Countertops can vary significantly in price, depending on the material and the size of the kitchen. If you would like to get an idea on the cost of your new kitchen or bathroom, give James at Canastar a quick call to book a FREE Consultation and Quote.
What about maintenance?
Maintenance and care of your countertops are something to think about. For example, granite requires regular sealing to prevent staining, while quartz, are more low maintenance materials. See this great article in Architectural Digest on all cleaning tips.
Keep in mind the amount of time and effort you are willing to put into maintaining your future countertops when making your decision.

It also comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, so you can easily find a style that matches the aesthetic of your kitchen or bathroom. However, it is a porous material, so it requires regular sealing to prevent staining and damage.

Available in both a polished and honed finish, marble countertops are often a homeowner’s desired choice while trying to achieve a high end look.
Marble countertops differ in they can be a tedious surface in terms of scratches, stains and susceptibility to heat. When maintaining these tops, we highly recommended to annually seal the surfaces and maintain daily care by simply cleaning with soap and water.
