Welcome to Infinite Tile! We always provide high quality work that produces an exceptional product. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with all of our clients, and we cannot wait to hear from you. Call today!
"The workers were excellent: professional, timely, and quite expert in their work. I want to mention Carlos as the supervisor; Jesse and Santos did just an excellent job with the installation. Despite the initial improper installation of the countertop of another installer, they took care to make sure the countertop did not crack when they removed it and provided a sub top and sub frame (the sub top and sub frame the initial installer failed to provide) to protect the countertop in the reinstallation. I will wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Infinite Empire Stone for any work in your home or business."

These three materials have different backstories and care needs. Solid-surface counters are molded from resins, pigments, and minerals, so they give you a seamless, low-maintenance look. Engineered stone—often called quartz—mixes ground quartz with resin, creating a durable, stain-resistant surface. Marble is quarried straight from the earth, which means every slab has one-of-a-kind veining and a classic feel, but it also needs regular sealing and a bit more TLC than its man-made rivals.
Marble’s high-end look can definitely boost a home’s perceived value. Buyers respond to its unique veining and luxe finish, so a marble kitchen or bath can help your listing stand out. While no upgrade guarantees a certain sale price, marble’s timeless appeal makes it one of the stronger surface investments you can make.
With the right care, marble countertops can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years. Routine sealing, wiping up spills before they stain, and steering clear of abrasive cleaners all protect the surface. Follow that simple plan and the stone’s natural strength—and beauty—should stay on display for decades, giving you a long-term return on your investment.
It hinges on how you cook and how much upkeep you’ll tolerate. Marble stays cool—great for rolling pastry—and gives a classic, upscale look, but it needs sealing and quick wipe-downs. Granite is tougher, shrugs off higher heat, and asks for less day-to-day attention, making it a go-to for busy kitchens. Match the stone to your habits and style preferences.
Skip setting a sizzling pan straight from the stove or oven on your marble countertops. The stone handles moderate heat but can discolor, crack, or chip under extreme temperatures. Use a trivet, hot pad, or heat-resistant mat instead. That small habit protects your investment and keeps the surface looking showroom-ready.
