Granite Countertops And More…
Today during one of our weekly sales meetings, one of our Sales Rep’s mentioned that one of our long standing repeat customers didn’t realize that we also sold quartz countertops, and thus went elsewhere for that. While this took me off guard, I have to admit that I wasn’t that surprised. While we initially started our business selling only granite countertops and continued that route for many years, we found that we had to adapt to the market and provide a variety of products to better serve our customers.
With that said, over the last several years, we’ve added a variety of quartz products including:
We also provide a recycled glass surface if you are Thinking Green:
So whether you are looking for the natural beauty of granite, or the consistency of quartz, or recycled glass, we are happy to assist you with any of your countertop needs. Please stop by our showroom and check out our slabs and samples.
Thanks for reading!

Granite Countertops Still Remain The Countertop Of Choice…
Today, as I was looking at my February 2010 issue of The Cutting Edge newsletter, produced by the MIA, I came across, the article, “The NKBA Unveils Kitchen and Bath Trends for 2010,” that caught my eye. According to the article, the latest survey information from designers revealed that granite remains at the top of the list when it comes to countertop options. Although I’m not surprised, that’s good news for the natural stone industry. Granite is not only durable, and easy to maintain, but is also beautiful and is available in literally hundreds of different color options.
The survey also revealed that, “Last year saw an increased interest in a neutral color palette (perhaps because of the challenging economy), and the same should also hold true for 2010,” when it comes to kitchens in general. At PGC, neutral colored granites have always been popular, although we sell a variety of colors, and patterns. When it comes to color, it seems to be a personal preference.
Whether you are looking for a neutral tone, or something more dramatic, we are here to help. Please make sure to stop by our showroom. We are happy to help you with your selections.
Thanks for reading!
