7 Reasons Charlotte Homeowners Love Solid Surface Countertops

Natural stone often steals the spotlight, but solid surface countertops have carved out a place as one of the most practical, design friendly materials for kitchens and bathrooms. At Harkey Tile & Stone, we recommend them to homeowners who want style, durability, and easy care. Always providing our 8 business day turnaround from template to install.

Here are the top reasons solid surface might be right for your project.

1. A Modern, Polished Look

Solid surface provides a smooth, uniform appearance that works beautifully in contemporary and transitional spaces.

2. Hygienic & Non-Porous

Because it doesn’t absorb spills, solid surface is resistant to stains and bacteria. A quick wipe keeps it fresh and clean.

3. Durable & Repairable

Unlike some natural stones, minor scratches or marks can often be refinished, extending the life of your countertops.

4. Wide Range of Styles

With colors and finishes ranging from subtle neutrals to bold statement tones, it’s easy to match your design vision.

5. Cost-Effective Upgrade

More affordable than marble or granite, solid surface gives you a high-end look without the high price tag.

6. Ideal for Custom Features

Its flexibility makes it a great option for creative layouts, curved edges, or integrated backsplashes.

7. Installed in 8 Business Days

Most fabricators quote weeks, or longer. Harkey delivers countertops in just 8 business days from template to install, to keep your remodel on track.

Very pleased with the entire process. The template and install schedules were right on time. The installers were hard working and courteous. They took care to protect our belongings and cleaned up when they were finished. Tina came out from the office to make sure that things went smoothly. She was awesome.

Harkey’s workmanship is amazing ! They are extremely talented and can do amazing work . We had a very large kitchen remodel that required quartzite countertops and backsplash and i am so glad we picked them . The island edge that they did was beyond my expectation . Very clean and precise work . Also, we removed the Carrara marble from my old kitchen & they were able to refinish the old kitchen marble countertop for my laundry room countertop & backsplash . Everything turned out beautiful . Thankyou to Lynnie , holly and their entire team that work effortlessly on our kitchen , wine room and laundry room project .

We loved our experience with Harkey Tile& Stone. Ally, our designer was exceptional. She knew exactly the look we were going for with our kitchen and understood what we wanted. It is so rare to find someone who syncs up so well with your own personal style when doing a kitchen renovation. She is the best and really helped bring our vision to reality. Thank you Harkey for our beautiful marble. We feel very lucky to have worked with y'all!

Harkey Tile & Stone provided exceptional service and materials for our bath and laundry renovation. We purchased both floor and shower tile, and counter tops with great satisfaction. From the start, we received excellent design support with the value of experience. Ally Williams with the Design & Sales team listened and responded with options for appearance, form, and function. Project timelines were met with no delays. We highly recommend Harkey Tile & Stone.

I could not be happier with the entire process and outcome in dealing with Harkey. I worked with Ally throughout the entire process and she shines both in terms or design aptitude and knowledge of their products. She was a joy to work with, as was all of the staff at Harkey’s as we worked through the process…even in resolving any issues that arouse. I felt that we were in the great hands in guiding us through the process, any concerns that came up and the ultimate installation. The owner, Lynnie, went above and beyond in assisting us with an appliance installation issue that arose (which was clearly NOT Harkey’s problem) and resolved it for us. From the top down, they deliver on caring customer service and support. I feel completely confident that should there ever be any issues in the future, they will be handled..but I expect to just enjoy the beautiful quartz counters and marble backsplash for years to come! I am so happy we choose to use Harkey and would do it again without a moment’s hesitation.

My latest of many experiences with Harkey Tile and Stone was as good as all the others. This particular experience was really stellar working with Ally. We were immediately on the same page because she listened intently to what I was looking for, and went straight to the best options. She was patient and accommodating with her time. Ally was always available to talk over any questions I had, and simply had customer satisfaction and quality in service as her goal throughout the whole project. Thank you Ally, and thanks Harkey for another beautiful kitchen!
