What marble is
The U.S. Geological Survey says marble forms when limestone is heated and squeezed by natural rock-forming processes. It says marble is made of calcite crystals locked together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and that the colored streaks in it are other minerals. We fit it on kitchen counters and islands.
Marble and acid
The U.S. Geological Survey says calcite, the mineral marble is mostly made of, dissolves readily in weak acid. It says marble on buildings that acid rain falls on turns rough and loses its carved detail over time.
On any marble we fit, we'd wipe up lemon juice, vinegar, wine and tomato sauce right away, since all of them are acidic.
What sets the price of marble
We price marble countertops for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing. Our price depends on the slab you choose, how much counter we cover, the edge you pick, and how many holes we cut for the sink and the cooktop.
Not sure about marble? We can quote it side by side with granite, quartzite or quartz.
Looking after marble
FoodSafety.gov says to wash countertops with hot, soapy water, especially after they've held raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs. On any marble we fit, we'd still set hot pans on a stand or pad and use a cutting board for knives.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The name of the marble and the thickness of the slab.
- Whether you get to see and approve the exact slab before it is cut.
- A drawing of the layout, with every seam and cutout marked.
- Which edge and which finish you are getting.
- Whether the stone will be sealed, and with what.
- Whether taking out and hauling away the old countertops is in the price.
- Who disconnects and reconnects the sink, faucet and cooktop.
Questions about marble countertops in Lewisville
How is marble different from granite?
The U.S. Geological Survey says granite is made mostly of minerals, quartz among them, that resist acid. If you cook with a lot of citrus or vinegar and want natural stone, we can show you granite countertops as well as marble.
Is marble the same as quartz?
No. NIOSH says engineered stone is also known as quartz. The marble we fit is natural stone, and if you'd rather have a man-made top, we also fit quartz countertops.
Does cutting marble make silica dust?
NIOSH, part of the CDC, says breathing in crystalline silica dust causes silicosis, a lung disease that cannot be reversed. OSHA says marble and limestone contain little or no crystalline silica, while granite can contain up to 50%.
Do I need a permit for new marble countertops in Lewisville?
The City of Lewisville lists cosmetic projects, such as replacing cabinets or installing carpet, as not needing a building permit, and it suggests calling its Building Services staff to confirm. If a permit is needed, the city says you should never apply for it on behalf of your contractor. If your job moves a sink or changes the plumbing, we'll make that call to the city with you before we start.
Can I pick my own marble slab?
Yes, we can show you slabs and have you approve the one we cut, since the color and the streaks change from slab to slab.
Can you put marble in a bathroom?
Yes, we can fit marble on bathroom vanity tops as well as in the kitchen.
Can you fix a chip in a marble countertop?
Send us a photo, or ask us to come and look. We'll tell you whether a countertop repair will hold or the piece should be replaced.
