In a busy world where we spend more time leaning against our kitchen counters than sitting at the dining room table, you must ensure your countertops are beautiful and functional. From rushing through morning coffee prep to multitasking while cooking dinner, countertops are the stage for life’s many props. That’s why we at Gerstad Builders find options that can handle real life while still looking amazing five, 10 or even 20 years later.

We know that the best countertops aren’t just the prettiest ones in the showroom, but the ones that still make you smile when you’re wiping your third spill of the day:

Combining Style & Substance

At Gerstad Builders, we think beyond selecting materials that look good in a catalog. Quality work surfaces that serve as timeless foundations for your home? That’s what we strive to find. This approach allows our team to focus on contemporary trends alongside classic selections that provide a neutral, lasting backdrop and a blank canvas for your dream home.

• Engineered Quartz: Engineered stone delivers exceptional durability and consistent patterns. These non-porous materials resist stains, scratches and bacteria while requiring minimal maintenance. Available in countless colors and finishes, quartz provides the perfect balance of beauty and practicality.
• Natural Stone Varieties: Granite and marble bring unique character through distinctive veining and natural variations. Each slab tells its own story, creating one-of-a-kind focal points.
• Solid Surface Solutions: These seamless materials offer versatility in design and installation. With integrated sinks and custom edge profiles available, solid surfaces create clean, contemporary looks that complement modern lifestyles.
• Laminate Innovations: Today’s laminate has evolved dramatically, offering realistic stone and wood patterns at accessible price points. Advanced manufacturing techniques create work areas that rival more expensive alternatives while providing excellent value.
