Quartz Countertops
Quartz is a manufactured product and can be very attractive. The manufacturing process allows a much wider range of colors than you’ll find in natural stones such as marble or granite. The appearance of the finished engineered stone is rich, even luxurious. The finish has a depth that can’t be produced with solid surface materials like Corian.
Quartz has the same durability as concrete and granite, but is quite a bit more forgiving, so it won’t chip or crack as easily. It doesn’t have the same hardness in the feel that some people find unpleasant.
Like other hard surface countertop materials, quartz is non-porous so it resists staining much better than granite, marble and concrete. It stands up to juice, oil, wine, tomato, coffee and other sources of stains in the kitchen. For cleanliness, a non-porous surface means that it will not harbor bacteria or viruses. You can always be confident that you are getting your quartz countertop absolutely clean, and that’s a great benefit in both the kitchen and the bathroom.
Quartz Countertops can be used in Kitchen Countertop projects or Bathroom Countertop projects. Don’t forget to view our Portfolio of completed projects to see real-life examples of these beautiful materials in use!

Pros of Quartz Countertops:
- Durability: Quartz countertops are highly durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making them perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike natural stone countertops, quartz requires minimal maintenance and does not need to be sealed regularly.
- Variety: Quartz countertops come in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing you to find the perfect match for your design aesthetic.
- Non-Porous: Quartz is non-porous, making it resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, and providing a hygienic surface for food preparation.
- Uniformity: Unlike natural stone, quartz countertops offer uniformity in color and pattern, providing a consistent look throughout your space.
Cons of Quartz Countertops:
- Price: Quartz countertops tend to be more expensive than other options, such as laminate or tile.
- Not Heat-Resistant: While quartz is heat-resistant to a certain extent, extreme heat can cause damage, so it’s essential to use trivets or hot pads.
- Limited Resistance to UV Rays: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration or fading of quartz countertops over time.
- Professional Installation Required: Quartz countertops are heavy and require professional installation, which adds to the overall cost.
- Not Suitable for Outdoor Use: Due to its limited resistance to UV rays and extreme temperatures, quartz countertops are not recommended for outdoor applications.

Praise for New Generation Kitchen & Bath
Kurt AndersonApril 3, 2024We were very pleased with the final result of our kitchen and bath project. Philip was very easy to work with and listened to what we were specifically interested in doing. Alan was very thorough in his work and came to do a final inspection and touch ups without us asking. we would recommend them.
Barbara MarchiandoJune 5, 2023Our kitchen looks fabulous! Monica did a great job guiding through the process and helping with choices. The team was professional,always on time and did a fantastic job. Communication throughout the project was top notch. Thank you Alan and all the guys who completed the work in less time than was projected! Would absolutely recommend New Generation.
Faustino RojasFebruary 27, 2023My family and I absolutely LOVE the work New Generation Kitchen and Bath did to our kitchen!! We had a slow leak that destroyed some of our cabinets we hired another company and had to fire them after about 3 months of no work being done. We went with New Generation and it was amazing! Philip was extremely helpful in the design process and all the work got done in 1 1/2 weeks!!! This company is amazing!!

The price was also fair. I absolutely recommend this business and plan on using them again for another remodel.
Jon “Jdog” CortinaSeptember 11, 2022Saw some new ideas .
Thomas MaeseApril 8, 2022Such a lovely showroom, and the workers are so friendly. The work they did on my mom's kitchen was amazing. I definitely will work with them again in the future.
Angelica LawNovember 3, 2021Great selection, project mgt, and quality of materials. Very fast to install.
Courtney Lynn NewburgAugust 5, 2021We came to New Generation Kitchen & Bath after a little incident with our dishwasher caused flooding & damage in our home that needed to be repaired. We had planned to renovate eventually, but this sped up our timeline exponentially. Working with insurance was an absolute nightmare but NGK&B helped ease the frustration and made the process with them a BREEZE. We had some setbacks along the way and it took much longer than we'd hoped (insurances fault), I now have the kitchen of my dreams.... Allen, Anne, Sarah... and the two guys that were here working with Allen, are all superb! I wish I had caught their names! We plan on using them for all of our future renovations and already have a quote to begin the next. :)
papuria and the kawaii girlsAugust 1, 2021Thank you to New Generations for making my Dream kitchen come true. The process was stress free and their attention to detail was on point. Thank you again.
