Tile is one of the hottest trends in Charlotte right now. One of the top remodel projects homeowners are getting into are remodeling their bathroom from the basic whites and standard tubs to tile floors, tile shower enclosures and tile bathtubs.
Rather than covering your existing bath with another layer of plastic, save money by creating a unique bathroom design. Not only will you enjoy your new bath tub, but you will be able to sell your home for more. Its true that bathrooms and kitchens are what really sell homes. Transform your bathroom into a unique atmosphere. Unlike other brands that fit a standard plastic covering over your existing bath, we custom design and install tile, granite and other unique options to customize your bathroom. Remodeling your bath is also more affordable. Its the transformation that lasts longer and will be more enjoyable.
It is very easy to convert a standard white bathtub into a tile shower enclosure or even to lay tile around an existing bathtub, that is, if you have the experience to do it. We have been remodeling kitchens and bathrooms for years in the Charlotte area. Check out these photos below of a complete bathroom remodel:
Check out the other part of the bathroom remodel below -- change from blue to white walls and granite vanity:
Tile shower enclosures definately add value to your home. If you may be looking to sell your home in the future, a complete remodeled bath will give your home an upper hand against other competing homes.

Why cover up your old grungy countertops with granite chips and plastic? Real granite is not as expensive as you think. A complete custom cut & Installed 3CM Granite countertop, 50 sq ft with EVERYTHING included -- starts at just $2099. That includes taxes. Thats the best granite transformation -- REAL GRANITE at an affordable price.
Did you know that some of the glue and materials used in countertop resurfacing is VERY Flammable? Granite is an all natural material. It is rock. It is stone. Fake granite resurfacing scratches VERY easily, while the only thing that will scratch granite is granite itself or something sharper like diamonds.
Don't believe us? Grab a sample from a local Charlotte 'granite' resurfacing company and test it for yourself. Compare it to a real 3CM rock sample of GRANITE. When we put a flame against a sample of fake resurfacing granite, a black smoke came off -- and when we put a simple house key against it, it scratched instantly. This was some damage just within a few minutes with the sample. Imagine years later.
The real 3CM Granite countertop in the video below is over hundreds of years old. This granite was blasted out of the earth, polished, cut into a granite slab, shipped to our shop and then custom cut to fit your kitchen. It did not come in pieces -- it is one complete slab. It fits perfectly in your home. This is real 3 CM Soild Granite. Not pieces or chips of material glued together. This has a lifetime warranty through mother nature.
The only way you can really transform your kitchen is with REAL granite. 3CM Granite is not as costly as it used to -- and with us, we offer wholesale pricing to each customer. A 50 Sq Ft kitchen, with a new stainless steel undermount sink, custom cut 3CM granite, cut for the undermount sink, installation of sink, choice of any of 6 edge treatments, removal and disposal of old countertops, disconnection of plumbing, one day installation and a choice from several popular granite colors --- taxes, materials, installation and labor INCLUDED -- would be $2099.
WOW :)
Let us save you money and transform your kitchen with high quality materials and perfect installation.
How can we have such great prices?
Come see the granite slabs we have in stock for yourself.

TRANSFORM your CHARLOTTE KITCHEN with GRANITE
The Real Granite Transformations - Charlotte NC
Posted by Beth Jackson on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 @ 08:17 AM
This beautiful baltic brown granite kitchen was just installed in Charlotte for homeowner Fowler. We also installed the tile backsplash, which accents their granite and floors perfectly.
If you look at the tile, you will notice the new outlet covers the Fowlers also had installed. Usually, outlet covers are an afterthought -- most people do not think about replacing them. By replacing the outlet covers with new outlet covers that match the tile, you can add depth and beauty to your new transformed granite kitchen.
Check out the video of their granite installation below, showing their granite bar supports, tile backsplash and a close up on the granite countertop itself:

The Fowlers also chose to protect their granite with a 15 year granite sealant. This 15 year sealant can be applied after the granite is installed. It has a 15 year warranty directly through the sealant manufacturer. The granite sealant wll protect your countertops and keep it looking new, shiney, and stain resistant. :)
Baltic Brown granite is typically a Level II granite color. It originates in Finland, processed in Italy.

Kitchen countertops
By: Bob Faust
Mainstream countertop options can be summed up into one of four popular countertop choices:
Laminate
Solid surface
Quartz (engineered stone)
Granite
Laminate Countertops
Laminate countertop, with such brand names as Formica, is the least expensive surface available and is usually done in one of two types: Preform and Custom. The perform countertops are prebuilt, usually in 8 ft lengths and are simply cut to size and installed. Custom laminate countertops are slightly more expensive as the wooden top is constructed and a laminate veneer is then applied. The cost is probably the best feature of this product. Entire laminate countertop kitchens can be done for several hundreds of dollars. The look of a laminate countertop is usually dull and basic, not to mention the visible seams that can be found. It is also not very durable. Laminate countertops cannot be cut on and no heat should be applied.
Solid Surface Countertops
The originator of solid surfaces is Dupont. They created the popular brand called Corian over 40 years ago which they patented. Nowadays there are many solid surface countertops available, some popular brand names are: Formica, DuPont, Staron Surfaces, Wilsonart, Avonite and Karran. This type of countertop costs more than laminate countertops. This is due to the way it is glued together. Solid Surfaces use color matching adhesive so it is easy to make the seams disappear. The seam material is also the same has the surface material. The main features of a solid surface countertop are the seamless applications and the cost is less then granite and quartz countertop materials. The problem with this countertop material is that it is softer and scratches easily. You should also avoid contact with hot surfaces because it will melt.
Quartz (Engineered stone) Countertops
The most common brands for Quartz Countertops are: Zodiac, Silestone, Hansstone, and Cambria. Quartz Countertops have only available in the US for less than 10 years. It is one of the most durable countertop surfaces available. It looks and feels similar to Granite and it has over 100 colors available. (Granite countertops have thousands of color options). It is comprised of 93-97% ground up quartz and a balance of glue. The glue makes this material a more maintenance free countertop surface, just like solid surface material, as the colors are man-made and it is easier to get the seams to blend in. Quartz is more chip resistant and does not contain any fissures or cracks as a natural surface countertop.The upsides of quartz countertops are low maintenance and more consistent colors, while the downside is higher costs. Most entry level quartz countertop materials cost as much as upper level granite countertop colors.The other downside or upside (depending on your perspective) is the uniform color. This perhaps is the biggest difference between natural and "engineered surface" materials. If you want a very uniform countertop, then you may want engineered stone countertop. If you want a unique countertop, then let mother-nature take you there with granite countertops.
Granite Countertops
An average size kitchen for granite used to cost over $10,000 dollars, but came down in price due to high demand and is now a very cost effective surface for most homeowners. Since it is a natural material each countertop is unique. Ever granite slab has a different color and appearance. Even if you are looking at two granite slabs of the same granite type, the color or pattern in the slab may be different. It could bea different shade of the same color or one slab could have more veining then the other. We encourage our customer's to pick the granite slab that we will be using to cut their countertop from. It is best to pick your slab because although a small color sample may give you an idea for the color of the granite, but since the granite is coming from a different slab than where the sample came from, there may be a difference in the actual color of your granite countertop. Granite slabs range in a material price from $8/sq ft to as high has $75/ft and therefore is a large range in the installed pricing of this surface. Granite is a very hard surface which will not be scratched by anything other than more granite or diamonds, but could have some issues with chips if it is hit with a hard surface such has a pot or pan. Some Granite's, being a natural material, do have some hairline cracks called "fissures" and some surface pits are common in some stones too. Most granite should be sealed periodically as well to prevent staining. There are sealers now that are guaranteed for 15 years to "Lifetime" which may give you more peace of mind with your investment. Maintenance and chipping are probably the biggest downside and with natural materials making seams disappear is difficult. Granite has a relative cost and an exceptional natural beauty, which makes it one of the best choices for countertops, currently available.
