Is marble a good countertop material for Westchester kitchens?
Marble is beautiful and timeless, but requires more care than quartz or quartzite. It scratches and etches (chemical dulling from acids like lemon juice and vinegar) more easily. Many Westchester homeowners love marble and accept the patina it develops. Others find the maintenance frustrating. We give honest guidance so you choose the right material for your household.
What is the difference between Calacatta and Carrara marble?
Carrara marble is mined in Carrara, Italy — softer gray background with fine, feathery gray veining. It's the most common and affordable marble. Calacatta marble has a brighter white background with bolder, more dramatic veining — typically gold or darker gray. Calacatta is rarer and more expensive.
Do you recommend marble for kitchen islands?
Marble on a kitchen island is a classic choice that many homeowners love. We recommend it with full honesty about etching and staining risk. Many clients opt for a marble island with a quartz perimeter — giving the visual drama of marble where it's most visible without the maintenance concerns on the primary work surface.
