Quality Countertops to Go With Your New Cabinets
Your cabinets may be the foundation of your kitchen, but countertops are what bring everything together. Whether you’re renovating a waterfront condo in Cape Coral or updating a family home in Bonita Springs, the right countertops transform your space from functional to spectacular. After working with hundreds of families throughout Southwest Florida, I understand that choosing countertops can feel overwhelming with so many beautiful options available.
“Something I tell every client is that we love being able to help you coordinate all the elements of your kitchen renovation to ensure a cohesive, professional result,” confides owner Doug Russ.
We work closely with trusted countertop fabricators throughout Lee County and Collier County to help you select surfaces that complement your new cabinets perfectly.
Premium Stone Surfaces for Southwest Florida Living
Granite remains one of the most popular choices for homes from Naples to North Fort Myers because of its natural beauty and incredible durability. Each slab is unique, offering patterns and colors that cannot be replicated. Granite handles Florida’s heat beautifully, making it perfect for outdoor kitchens in Estero or busy family spaces in Lehigh Acres. The natural stone adds instant value to your property while providing a surface that can handle decades of daily use.
Quartz offers consistency and performance that busy Southwest Florida families love. Unlike natural stone, engineered quartz provides uniform patterns and colors, making it easier to achieve the exact look you want in your Fort Myers kitchen or Cape Coral bathroom. The non-porous surface resists stains and bacteria without requiring sealing, which is valuable because it doesn’t need the extra sealing step.
Marble brings timeless elegance that works beautifully in traditional homes throughout Collier County. From classic Carrara with its subtle veining to dramatic Calacatta with bold patterns, marble creates stunning focal points in kitchens and bathrooms. While marble requires more maintenance than other materials, many homeowners in areas like Bonita Springs and Sanibel choose it for its unmatched beauty and luxury appeal.
Coordination Makes All the Difference
“The countertops are installed 10 days after we get the cabinets in because they have to be templated to the countertops first, and then we can put them in,” explains Russ. “This timeline ensures precision fitting and professional results. We coordinate the entire process so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors or worry about scheduling conflicts.”
Our process begins during your cabinet design consultation at our Fort Myers showroom. We discuss countertop options that complement your cabinet style and color choices, whether you’re selecting White Shaker cabinets for a clean coastal look or rich Espresso cabinets for dramatic impact. We can show you samples and help you visualize how different materials will look in your completed space.
Once your cabinets are installed, our trusted countertop partners visit your home to create precise templates. This ensures perfect fits around sinks, appliances, and any unique features of your kitchen layout. From compact galley kitchens in downtown Naples condos to expansive cooking spaces in Pine Island waterfront homes, proper templating is essential for professional results.
Practical Considerations for Our Climate
Southwest Florida’s unique environment influences countertop selection in important ways. High humidity requires surfaces that won’t absorb moisture and develop problems over time. Intense sunlight streaming through windows in Gulf-front properties from Marco Island to Captiva can affect some materials, making fade resistance important.
Heat resistance is crucial for active kitchens throughout Lee County and Collier County. Whether you’re cooking for large family gatherings in your Alva home or entertaining friends at your Fort Myers Beach condo, your countertops need to handle hot pots and pans without damage.
We also consider maintenance requirements based on your lifestyle. Busy families with children might prefer the easy care of quartz, while empty nesters who love to cook might choose the character and patina that develops with natural stone over time.
From initial design through final installation, we ensure your countertop selection enhances both the beauty and functionality of your Southwest Florida kitchen. The result is a space that works perfectly for your family’s daily routines while adding lasting value to your home.
