which material to use?

Here is our selection of favorite resources

Quartz Countertops

Our favorite countertop choice is quartz, thanks to its resistance against heat and scratches as well as being low maintenance – with no stains to clean with soap and water, plus no need for sealing or waxing it either!

Quartz resembles natural stone without its inherent downsides such as being porous – perfect for creating sleek appearances with easy repairs! Unfortunately it does cost similar to granite.

Quartzite

Quartzite stands out with its striking veining and vivid hues, and offers superior scratch resistance compared to granite while handling heat well. However, regular maintenance needs must be conducted.

Laminate Countertops

On a budget? Laminate countertops may be your savior – an affordable and straightforward material with many designs to choose from that’s easy to keep looking new for less money than alternatives such as wood.

While not as heat resistant, laminate has improved with time. While its lifespan may not match other materials’, repairs or replacement costs make laminate an economical solution when remodeling on a tight timeline.

Granite Countertops

People often associate granite with luxury. It offers that luxurious feel in multiple styles while its durability has made it popular with hair products and styling tools alike. Granite stands up well against heat, stains, and scratches and has the strength of withstanding heat from hair products as well as handling hair products with hair products and styling tools without damage

Perfect for handling styling tools! Unfortunately it does absorb liquids over time which could potentially lead to bacteria growth leading to mildew growth or bacteria spreading if cared for improperly; special cleaners must be purchased to properly care for this material and regular sealing must take place if it wants to retain its beautiful appearance and keep looking brand new appearance!

Marble

If elegance is what you seek, marble makes an elegant choice. Each slab boasts its own individual beauty while remaining durable enough for use indoors or out. However, regular sealing may be required in order to protect it against staining – more porous and costlier than granite but sure to impress visitors nonetheless!

Natural Stone Countertops

Quartzite or marble are excellent choices for bathroom counters; however, their price tends to make them an expensive addition.

How To Select the Appropriate Countertop

Finding your ideal countertop depends on what matters to you!

aesthetics, durability or cost considerations

If style is top priority for you, granite or quartzite could be excellent choices; otherwise quartz may offer greater longevity or laminate could save on cost

make sure that each material provides ample options based on what matters to you so you find something that meets most of the criteria in terms of both looks and affordability – whether granite, quartzite or laminate – before making your selection!

With any material choice comes its own advantages and disadvantages so whatever material chosen will end up creating something special that suits what suits YOU best in terms of both style AND affordability when selecting countertops! Whatever material suits YOU best, regardless of which material it will yield beautiful countertops!

Radu and his team provide the highest quality of craftsmanship. They installed a new water heater, replaced a window, and fan in the laundry room. You can tell they take great pride in their work, and the attention to detail truly sets them apart. They used high-quality materials, stayed on schedule, and kept the project within the agreed budget. I highly recommend them for any project.

Radu and his crew at Total Quality Express are skilled craftsman that offer superb workmanship at a reasonable price. Radu is honest and dependable and completed a remodel at my Bellevue Townhouse that I was extremely pleased with. Radu has also completed a commercial retail buildout for one of my businesses. I highly recommend this company and will use them again.

Taft and his crew consistently delivered and met, if not exceeded, my expectations. He is professional, transparent with costs, and offers affordable solutions. His reliability, flexibility, and hands-on approach gave me confidence to give him additional projects, including full remodel of two condo units. It is quite easy to communicate with him, and he is receptive to change requests I made even once after the project has started. I trust his judgment and highly recommend him for any renovation project.

As a property manager I’ve worked with more contractors than I can count and Total Quality Express have become my top choice for any project. I came across them when I needed a hearth created for a fireplace at a property a couple hours out of their service area. Radu was happy to meet in person for an estimate and provided reasonable pricing. Given the location, I wasn’t able to be present for any of the work and am admittedly OCD about details so texted him a lot during the job to ensure everything was done to my liking (he was so kind and patient with all my messages). The hearth was done beautifully (wasn’t easy to cut different sized tiles to perfection while installing on a platform in a corner-he is skilled at tile work).

I then had an unexpected need for flooring replacement at my home which was completed well within a very tight timeframe. Since then I’ve used Radu for all kinds of things including painting, cabinet installation, foundation and exterior repairs, extensive electrical work, you name it. I even had a sliding glass door that I thought needed replacement but he was able to make some adjustments to get it working good as new. What I really appreciate is how he thinks about everything in advance, he asks good questions to ensure projects run smoothly and have the best end result, there’s never a need for backtracking with him. I’ve given Radu checklists with 30+ things on them and he gets every little thing handled, you don’t need to follow up or remind him of anything which is refreshing. As we speak I have a couple projects I can’t wait for him to start on because I know they will be done amazingly well by him and his team.

I will add additional photos shortly.

Radu and his crew renovated 2 of our bathrooms. Prior to decided on signing with him, we met with 10+ other contractors, maybe a bit overkill but that really gave us a confidence to know who would be the best fit. Radu’s work ethich was awesome. He didn’t hard sell us on anything but brainstorm and guided us to the best optimal layout for our bathrooms, helped us consider pros and cons of each options so we could make decisions, instead of just do whatever we said 😂 which we really appreciated.

The crew was well detailed oriented and hardworking people. They went above and beyond on their tile work, paint touch up,… and we appreciate all the little things they did to make the final product great.

Overall, we would reach out to Radu again whenever we have a project and highly recommend him and his crew to others.

Absolutely a great company! The counter tops installed were perfectly done. I was overwhelmed by the professional care doing this. Not once was i questioning how the job they took on. My wife and I are so impressed with the quality of just the makeover of our kitchen counter tops! We will refer these professionals to anyone we know!

Radu and his crews did a great job remodeling our guest bathroom, reflooring our hallway and sauna, and putting in a new backsplash in our kitchen. The floor and wall tiling was superb. Radu is great to work with.

Working with Radu was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a contractor. He was the only one out of 6 contractors who spoke to me (a woman) and didn’t brush me off in search of my husband which was very important to me. The work, the timeline, the budget- everything was impeccable! I am so happy we found him and his crew and will absolutely use them again in the future. I love our new bathroom!

I called asking if they could simply drill a hole for a dishwasher air gap. They responded quickly, gave us a good price, and did the job well.

This is our second time working with Radu and team and we are very happy with the result! We wanted to open up our little jack and Jill bathroom to let in the natural light and make our shower bigger. They closed off the second door and opened up the space. Communication was pretty great and they were accommodating with our delay in getting some of the material. Most specifically the shower door (that Home Depot’s shipping company lost).

It’s been a few months, and our bathroom is looking and working great! Definitely recommend them!

Our slab floor had dropped in one corner. Radul and his crew came in after slabjackers did the floor lift. Total Quality Express finished leveling the slab and installed the floors. The floors turned out fantastic. In particular, they did a very nice job where the floor meets the sliding door. It was a more complicated fix due to the floor drop. Radu is very responsive and easy to work with and reliable. Will definitely work with him again.

Radu and Octavian have been great! This is the second project I did with them and they never fail to impress me with their work ethics and quality of work. I like how they are very attentive to details and don’t rush on their work. They will give you an honest opinion for materials I wasn’t sure to choose. They double check with you and clarify your instructions. They are very patient and would execute your ideas about designs. This will not be the last time I’ll call them for any home renovation projects.

They will listen and give what you want in mind for design ideas. Very professional and nice. This is my sanctuary every time I come home from work. They pay attention to details and they don’t rush their work. You can really tell that they’re good at what they do. No regrets at all!

I can’t say enough positive things about the work done by Radu and Octavian. They tiled to entryways, a bathroom and fireplace. Octavian is patient and precise in his work. We had a special issue to deal with a cleanout access and the solution was perfectly executed.

Radu and the team were a pleasure to work with. They were great with up-front communication regarding the scope of the project, answering all of our questions, and asking us the right questions to get the job done in a way that met our particular needs. The quote process was easy and clear, the work was done well and quickly, and we look forward to working with them again on future projects.

We hired them to install all tile works and wood floors for a whole house remodeling project. The fireplace tile wall turns out great! Master bath walk-in shower does drain well as promised. I even had comments from another contractor once: “Who did your tiles? They did good job!”. The team was polite and punctual. Easy to communicate with as well. I would recommend this company.
