Whether you’re opening up an older kitchen with a new island or peninsula, or replacing dated laminate in a newer, already-open layout, we handle both quartz and granite installations from our Mississauga shop, about thirty-five minutes east on the QEW.
When a Burlington kitchen opens up into a family room, the counter stops being just a work surface and becomes furniture. People see it from the couch. That is the main argument for quartz in these renovations: you approve the exact slab, and the finished island looks like the sample instead of a version of it.
The practical side matters too. Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing, and it does not stain from the things that actually get spilled in a kitchen. In an open-plan room where the island doubles as a homework table and a serving surface, that is worth more than it sounds.
We carry Caesarstone, Silestone, Vicostone, K-Stone and Q Colors from MSI. Burlington homeowners lean toward warm whites and soft greys, often with a light vein, which keeps a north-facing kitchen from feeling cold. If your renovation includes a new peninsula, bring the layout to the consultation. Overhang depth and support requirements are easier to solve on paper than after the cabinets are in.
Granite suits the older Burlington housing stock well, particularly homes in Roseland and Tyandaga where the architecture has some weight to it and a flat white counter would look out of place.
It also solves a specific problem in postwar kitchens. Many have short runs of counter broken up by windows and doorways, and the eye needs something with pattern to make those pieces read as one material. Natural granite has that movement built in. A uniform surface tends to highlight how chopped up the layout is.
Granite handles heat without complaint, which is why it stays popular with serious cooks. It does need sealing about once a year, and we walk you through it before we leave the site.
Bathrooms in Burlington’s older homes are usually small, which means a vanity top is often cut from remnant material left over from the kitchen slab. That is the cheapest way to get real stone into a powder room, and it keeps the house visually consistent.
We also fabricate laundry room counters, bar tops, fireplace surrounds and windowsills. If you are opening a wall, ask about a stone sill for the new opening while the material is already being cut.
Describe the layout, send a sketch or your contractor’s drawings, and we will price it. If you are still deciding between materials, this is where you settle it.
Visit our Tomken Road showroom in Mississauga and see the material full size. It is a straightforward drive on the QEW, and it is the step that prevents disappointment later.
Once cabinets are installed and level, we come out and digitally template the actual space. This matters especially in Burlington’s older homes, where settled floors and out-of-square corners are the norm, not the exception.
Italian CNC machinery cuts the slab, the sink and faucet openings, and the edge profile. We finish everything before it goes on the truck.
We take out the old tops, set and seam the new stone, and secure it. A standard Burlington kitchen is a one-day install. If your renovation involves a new island or peninsula, we coordinate timing with your contractor so the cabinets are ready.
We work across Peel and the northwest GTA from the same shop, including Oakville and Mississauga.
One company from the first measurement to the last seam, which is why scheduling stays predictable.
Real slabs, indoors, before you buy
If a wall is coming out, the countertop timeline has to fit around framing, drywall and cabinetry. We plan around it rather than showing up and finding the room is not ready.
On comparable material, plus a workmanship warranty on the installation.

No. We handle templating and installation in Burlington the same way we do anywhere else we serve, and we don't bill travel separately.
Earlier than you think. Talk to us while the layout is still being drawn. Island size, overhang depth and seam placement all depend on decisions your contractor is making before the cabinets arrive, and it is much cheaper to plan around them than to work around them.
In many cases, yes. If the boxes are level and structurally sound, new stone on existing cabinetry transforms the room for a fraction of a full renovation. We will give you a straight answer at the consultation, including if the answer is no.
It depends far more on the specific colour than on the material category. Some granites cost more than most quartz, and some quartz lines cost more than most granite. Bring your budget to the consultation, and we will show you what is realistic in both.
Usually one day. We remove the old surface and install the new one in the same visit on a standard kitchen.
We set the sink and secure it as part of the installation. Your plumber normally handles the final plumbing connection, and we will tell you exactly what needs to be arranged at booking.
