Countertop Providers And Kitchen Renovations

  • Date: May 12, 2025
  • Author: Ken Combs, CEO / Owner

If you’ve been dreaming of a kitchen renovation, chances are that new countertops are near the top of your wishlist—and for good reason. Countertops are one of the most visible and heavily used elements in any kitchen, playing a major role in both aesthetics and functionality. But with so many materials, finishes, and price points to choose from, selecting the right countertop can quickly become overwhelming. From timeless granite and elegant marble to low-maintenance quartz, warm butcher block, and even bold concrete options, each material comes with its own unique look, feel, and maintenance requirements.

Beyond selecting the right surface, it’s just as important to choose a reputable countertop provider. While this may not be the first thing that comes to mind during the planning phase, your choice of supplier can have a major impact on the final outcome of your project. The quality of materials, precision of installation, and overall pricing can vary significantly depending on who you work with. Taking the time to research and partner with a trusted local provider can help ensure that your dream kitchen not only looks stunning, but also stands the test of time.

Countertop Providers That Work With CQC Home

At CQC Home, we are very selective when it comes to choosing the countertop providers that we work with. After all, we want our clients to have a good experience from start to finish. That means working with brands that we trust to deliver high-quality products, on time, and within budget. We have handpicked three countertop providers that we developed excellent working relationships with over time. This ensures that when you choose CQC Home for your renovation project, you have plenty of countertop options to choose from and can rely on the quality of your selection. 

Carolina Custom Kitchen & Bath

Carolina Custom Kitchen and Bath has been serving the Raleigh area from their downtown Apex, NC showroom since 2005. Owners Gresham and Jennifer Riggs are very familiar with the design/build process as Greshman is a former builder himself. They pride themselves on delivering customer satisfaction and believe in providing high-quality products at the best price. 

We like working with Carolina Custom Kitchen & Bath for their reliability and quality products. They specialize in professional stone fabrication and installation, which allows clients to choose from a variety of countertop surfaces for their kitchen, bath, or other home projects. You can truly achieve a one of a kind look and feel.

United Granite

United Granite is a well-established brand that has been offering natural and engineered stone products for more than 20 years. With a location in Durham, NC, United Granite is a countertop provider right in our backyard. We have worked with them on many successful projects throughout the Triangle and we are always thrilled with the outcome. 

Clients can choose from popular countertop favorites like granite, marble, or travertine, or they can also choose from a variety of engineered countertops like Cambria or Silestone. United Granite specializes in kitchen countertops, as well as bathroom vanities, stone fireplaces, stone furnishings, or even flooring. The possibilities for CQC Home clients are endless.

East Coast Granite & Marble

East Coast Granite & Marble is a family-owned and operated company with multiple locations throughout the Raleigh area. They work solely with natural granite, quartz, and marble countertop surfaces, so if a client is interested in natural stone, they are an excellent choice. 

We have been working with this family business for years and not only do they provide excellent results for CQC Home projects, but they also offer our clients great prices with a quick turnaround. They are very service-oriented and after choosing their stone style and color, clients can sit back and relax and trust that they will love their finished product.

Why Your Builder Should Have Good Relationship With Countertop Providers

Not all builders take the time to build and nurture relationships with countertop providers. That’s unfortunate, because it truly makes a difference for customers. At CQC Home, the homeowners that we work with get to see firsthand the benefits of our established relationships with local countertop manufacturers.

We are able to offer clients high-quality materials at cheaper prices. Beyond that, our home renovation projects run smoother – staying on time and within the client’s budget. Having an established relationship with these countertop providers means that communication is always easier and these brands know what we expect from the process. We are able to work together to ensure a great outcome for both companies and especially our customers. 
If you are interested in a new kitchen renovation for your home, or perhaps considering a bathroom makeover or other stone project, we encourage you to contact us today. We would love to introduce you to the great, local countertop providers that we are proud to work with.
