"Basement Remodeling just completed our basement remodeling project, on time and on budget. We couldn’t be more pleased! We investigated other remodeling companies but chose Basement Remodeling after our discussions with Eric, in part because we believed we could count on their expertise in handling the inevitable quirks of renovating a 70 year old house. Our project (and budget) was probably fairly modest when compared to many remodeling projects, and Eric offered suggestions for inexpensive problem solving (rehanging existing doors, for example) rather than trying to upsell us on other, more costly solutions. We fully renovated about one-third of the basement space which included the furnace, water heater and a small but completely unfinished laundry area. Basement Remodeling created an enclosed area for the furnace and water heater and neatly disguised the electric panel, adding a well-designed, efficient and attractive wet bar with cabinetry, appliances and a custom pantry. The renovation also included cosmetic upgrades to the rest of the basement space, adding new flooring and fresh paint. The space now looks absolutely terrific! The company took care of everything, from permitting to cleanup, and every person on the team was thoughtful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Any concerns we had along the way were addressed immediately and quickly resolved to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Basement Remodeling!"

"If I could give this company a 6 out of 5 stars I would! They did a fantastic job overhauling my mother's deck, back patio, fencing, and front portico. All of the work was absolutely essential for safety and structural reasons, and I'm so glad I chose OSSA to do the work. My mother has Alzheimer's, which presented additional issues, but the entire crew was incredibly kind, respectful, and understanding of the unique challenges they faced. They were responsive and kept me aware of everything regarding the job along the way. My mother is so pleased, and I have the peace of mind that all of her outdoor space is safe, beautiful, and accessible. I will be hiring OSSA to do some work in my own home, as I look to make necessary improvements in the future. I've told everyone I know how how wonderful they are. 6 out of 5 stars!"

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.
