How to pick
Start with the material.
Most people pick a material first, then a color. Each one looks different, lasts differently, and lands at a different price. Here’s how they compare so you can narrow it down before you come in.
Natural stone
Granite
Best for: People who want a one-of-a-kind natural slab.
- No two slabs look the same
- Handles heat well
- Lasts for decades
Natural stone
Quartzite
Best for: The marble look with more durability.
- Harder than marble
- Veined, high-end look
- A true premium slab
What to know
It is a different material from engineered quartz, and it needs sealing.

Marble
Best for: A classic veined look, often on islands and vanities.
- Timeless white-and-gray veining
- Stays cool for baking
What to know
It is soft and acids like lemon and wine can etch it, so it takes more care.

Laminate
Best for: Rentals, laundry rooms, or a tight budget.
- The lowest price we carry
- A big range of looks
- Easy to live with

Brands & hardware
The brands we carry.
Quartz is the one material sold by brand, so the name matters. These are the quartz lines we carry, plus the hardware we finish kitchens with. Granite, quartzite, and marble are picked by the slab and color in our showroom, so they are not listed here.

The one quartz we carry that is made in the USA. Family-owned out of Minnesota, with a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell the house.

How it works
From pick to install.
Pick your material and color.
Look at samples for quartz, granite, quartzite, marble, and laminate. We help you match the look to your budget and to how you use your kitchen.
We measure.
Once your cabinets are set, we template the space so the tops are cut to your exact layout.
Your tops are made.
The slab is cut to size, the edges are profiled, and the sink and cooktop openings are cut.
We install.
We set the tops, seam them, seal natural stone, and tie them into your sink, then we stand behind the warranty.
Why buy your countertops from us.
We price every countertop installed, and that is on purpose. When the same company sells you the top and installs it, the manufacturer warranty stays valid and the fit comes out right. A countertop is cut for one kitchen. There is no putting it back if the measurements are off.
At Absolute Kitchen Distributors, here is what that gets you:
- We measure off your actual cabinets once they are set, so the fit is exact
- Your tops are fabricated to your layout, with the sink and cooktop openings cut to spec
- We install them and stand behind the warranty, so there is one company to call
- 35 years of trade experience serving builders and homeowners across the DMV
You buy a countertop once. We make sure it goes in right.
Key considerations when choosing countertops.
Budget
Material is the biggest lever on price. Laminate is the most affordable, quartz and granite sit in the middle, and quartzite and marble run higher. We help you get the look you want at a number that works.
Look and color
Quartz gives you consistent color across the whole kitchen. Natural stone gives you a one-of-a-kind slab with movement no two kitchens share. We show you both so you can see the difference in person.
Durability and maintenance
Quartz never needs sealing and shrugs off stains. Granite and quartzite need sealing now and then. Marble is the softest and takes the most care. We match the material to how hard you use the kitchen.
Edges and thickness
The edge profile and the slab thickness change the whole feel of the counter. We walk you through the options, from a simple eased edge to a waterfall that runs down the side of an island.
Installation and warranty
We price every top installed, so the manufacturer warranty stays valid and the fit is right. One company measures, installs, and backs the work.
What we top
Countertops for every surface in the house.
Kitchens are most of what we do, but the same materials work all over the house. Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble, and laminate go just about anywhere you need a durable surface. If you’re a builder or remodeler, we can fabricate and install every top in the job from one place.
- Kitchen countertops
- Kitchen island countertops
- Bathroom vanity countertops
- Wet bar countertops
- Butler's pantry countertops
- Home office desks
- Reception area countertops
Have a surface that isn’t on the list? Bring it in. We’ve probably topped it.
