Beautiful, durable & easy to maintain
If you’re remodeling a kitchen or bathroom and want an incredible look that doesn’t demand constant upkeep, quartz countertops deliver on both fronts.

A highly stain-resistant surface. Built for busy families.
At USA Dream Stone, we handle every step of your quartz countertop project in-house. From the moment you walk into our Garner showroom to the day we install your finished countertops. Our team uses digital templating and vein-matching technology to deliver precision fabrication, bringing your vision to life in about five business days.
Why homeowners choose quartz countertops
Quartz has become one of the most popular countertop materials for kitchens and bathrooms, and it’s easy to see why. It’s engineered to handle the demands of busy family life while looking beautiful year after year.
Non-porous & highly stain-resistant
No sealing required
Consistent patterns & wide design variety
Built for long-term use
Quartz colors, patterns & design flexibility
One of quartz’s most significant advantages is variety. Manufacturers can create a range of colors, patterns, and finishes. Popular choices in our showroom include Calacatta Gold and Taj Mahal. But those are just the beginning.
Quartz works with any design style. Modern kitchens with clean lines or traditional spaces with warm cabinetry, even coastal bathrooms with soft tones–quartz adapts beautifully. You can choose from finishes like polished (the most popular), honed, leathered, or matte, depending on the look you want.
Edge profiles offer plenty of options too. Standard choices like eased or bullnose work for most projects. If you want something custom, such as chiseled edges, waterfall islands, or stacked profiles, we can fabricate it.
Quartz performance & everyday durability
Quartz is engineered to handle daily life in busy kitchens and bathrooms.
Stains
The non-porous surface is highly resistant to stains, including coffee and wine.
Scratches
Quartz has high scratch resistance, though it’s not scratch-proof. Use cutting boards to protect the surface.
Heat
Quartz is heat-resistant but not heat-proof. Use trivets or hot pads for pots and pans straight from the stove.
Etching
Quartz is resistant to etching from acidic foods and cleaners.
How to care for quartz countertops
Daily cleaning is simple. Use mild dish soap and warm water with a microfiber cloth.
Avoid harsh cleaners, like degreasers and products with bleach. These can dull the surface over time. Keeping hot items away from quartz and cleaning regularly with mild soap helps extend its life.

Common questions about quartz countertops
Do quartz countertops require sealing?
Yes, but it’s minimal. Seal granite once per year and clean daily with mild soap and water. The sealer takes 15 minutes to apply. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners that break down the sealer over time.
Can you put hot pans on quartz?
Use mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, degreasers, or abrasive scrubbers.
How do you clean quartz countertops?
Quartz is heat-resistant, but not heat-proof. Use trivets or hot pads for pots and pans straight from the stove or oven. Direct heat can damage the resin in the material.
