At Premier Design and Renovation, custom countertops are a premier focal feature of our company. We serve homeowners across the entire Phoenix metro area with a fully turnkey service: we inspect your existing support structures, handle any necessary layout adjustments, precision-fabricate your chosen slabs, and manage all plumbing hookups from start to finish. It is a particularly popular upgrade in Scottsdale and North Phoenix where premium kitchen finishes make a significant difference in home value.
Countertop Materials We Work With
Every surface material has a distinct look, feel, and performance profile. We help you understand the differences so you can choose the right fit for your lifestyle, budget, and Arizona home.
Granite
A natural stone prized for its one-of-a-kind veining and heat resistance. Granite is highly durable, performs well in Arizona's dry climate, and adds a classic, premium look to kitchens and bathrooms. Requires periodic sealing.
Quartz
An engineered stone combining natural quartz crystals with resins for a non-porous, low-maintenance surface. Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, quartz resists stains and scratches without the need for annual sealing.
Quartzite
A natural stone often confused with quartz, quartzite offers dramatic veining similar to marble but with greater hardness and heat resistance. An excellent choice for busy kitchens that want a high-end natural aesthetic.
Marble
A timeless, elegant natural stone with distinctive soft veining. Marble works beautifully in bathrooms and low-traffic kitchen areas. It requires consistent sealing and care to maintain its appearance over time.
Porcelain Slab
An ultra-thin, dense ceramic surface offering excellent UV and heat resistance — well-suited for Arizona outdoor kitchens and high-sun areas. Available in large format slabs with a clean, contemporary look.
Solid Surface
A seamless, repairable material available in a broad range of colors. Solid surface is non-porous, easy to clean, and integrates smoothly with undermount sinks for a streamlined look. A practical choice for laundry rooms and secondary bathrooms.
Laminate
A budget-friendly option that has advanced significantly in realism and durability. Modern laminate surfaces mimic the look of stone at a lower price point and work well in rental properties, laundry rooms, or utility spaces.
Edge Profile Selection
The edge profile is the finishing detail that frames your countertop and ties it into your kitchen or bathroom design. Premier Design and Renovation walks you through every option so the final result feels intentional and complete.
Classic Eased Edge
A clean, slightly softened 90-degree edge. Timeless and versatile, works with traditional and transitional kitchens alike.
Modern Bevel Edge
A subtle angled cut along the top edge. Adds a contemporary, linear feel without heavy ornamentation. Popular in modern and minimalist designs.
Bullnose Edge
A fully rounded edge with a smooth, continuous curve. A soft, approachable look that works well in family homes and bathrooms.
Ogee Edge
An ornate S-curve profile with classic detailing. Best suited for traditional or formal kitchen designs where decorative character is a priority.
Waterfall Edge
The countertop surface continues vertically down the side of the cabinet in a continuous slab drop. A bold, architectural statement most common on kitchen islands in contemporary spaces.
We Bring the Samples to You
Choosing a countertop from a small chip in a showroom is not the same as seeing a full slab against your existing cabinets, flooring, and natural light. That is why Premier Design and Renovation brings countertop samples directly to your home before any commitment is made.
During the in-home consultation, we compare surface options side by side in your actual space — accounting for your cabinet color, flooring tone, and the way light moves through the room at different times of day. What looks right in a showroom may not look right in your kitchen. We eliminate that uncertainty before fabrication begins.
We also demonstrate protective finish coat options in person, so you can see exactly how a sealed surface compares to an unsealed one, and understand the maintenance commitment for each material.
Protective Finish Coat Demonstrations
Natural stone and many engineered surfaces benefit significantly from the right sealant or protective finish coat. The difference in long-term performance — particularly in a high-use kitchen or bathroom — comes down to how well the surface resists staining, moisture infiltration, and everyday wear.
Premier Design and Renovation demonstrates finish coat options in person during the consultation. We show you the difference between coated and uncoated surfaces so you understand exactly what protection you are getting and what upkeep each choice requires.
For porous natural stones like granite, marble, and quartzite, we walk through sealing schedules and product options. For non-porous surfaces like quartz, we explain what maintenance is and is not needed. No assumptions. No surprises after installation.
Integrated Sink and Faucet Options
A countertop installation is not complete until the sink and faucet are properly fitted, sealed, and plumbed. Premier Design and Renovation handles the full integration — from cutout to final connection — as part of your countertop project.
Undermount Sink
Mounted beneath the countertop for a clean, seamless look. No rim to collect debris. Requires a solid stone or engineered surface with a precisely cut opening and watertight adhesive seal. Plumbing reconnections handled as part of the installation.
Drop-In Sink
A traditional rim-mount option that sits in a cut opening on top of the surface. Compatible with a wider range of countertop materials and simpler to replace in the future. Sealed at the rim perimeter for moisture protection.
Farmhouse (Apron-Front) Sink
A large-format front-facing basin that extends beyond the cabinet face. Requires specific cabinet modification and careful countertop cutout planning. We confirm structural compatibility before fabrication.
Faucet drilling, hole spacing, and supply line configurations are all coordinated during the design phase — so your new surface arrives ready for immediate installation with no last-minute surprises.
Countertops for Every Room in Your Home
Most homeowners begin with a kitchen countertop project, but premium stone and solid-surface materials work beautifully throughout the entire home. Premier Design and Renovation installs countertops in any room where a durable, attractive surface adds value.
- Kitchen islands and peninsulas
- Kitchen perimeter counters
- Primary and guest bathroom vanities
- Laundry room utility surfaces
- Outdoor kitchen countertops (porcelain slab recommended for UV and heat resistance)
- Wet bar and entertainment area surfaces
- Mudroom built-in surfaces
If you are planning a whole-house renovation or multi-room update, coordinating countertop materials across spaces creates a cohesive design language that ties the home together. We work alongside our kitchen and bathroom remodeling services to ensure finishes align throughout the project.
