Update Your Kitchen – It’s National Remodeling Month

Leave a reply

Cambria quartz countertopsMay is National Remodeling Month and the perfect time to update your home with luxury products. As the go-to for all kitchen and bath needs in the Southeast, Construction Resources took a moment to ask Buck Belue what his recommendation is for kitchen countertops.

You might recognize Buck Belue as he is truly a sports icon – extremely accomplished in both football and baseball, helping to lead the UGA Bulldogs (Go Dawgs – sorry Carolina Fans) to the 1980 National Championship while playing quarterback from 1978 – 1981 and also playing professional baseball for three years after college (among many other achievements).

There’s no question he’s an amazing leader on the field and can recognize quality when he sees it. For this reason, he turns to Atlanta Kitchen for all of his countertop needs. Atlanta Kitchen has been installing countertops here in Atlanta for over 40 years, and they use the best quality materials available. In fact, they were the first company in Atlanta to install Cambria Quartz countertops.

While many people think that granite is the best surface for countertops, Buck Belue knows better. Cambria Quartz is the finest countertop surface available. Cambria is 93% quartz, twice as strong as granite and will last far longer than other stone and laminated countertop materials. In addition, quartz requires no maintenance and is the most stain resistant countertop on the market. When it comes to design options, you have nothing to worry about as Cambria comes in 64 different colors. And, to top it all off, Cambria quartz is made in the USA, so you know you are supporting local fabricators.

Take Buck’s advice and go with the best kitchen countertop team in Atlanta – Atlanta Kitchen.
