Historic waterfront architecture and modern coastal living make Annapolis a unique place to own a home. When residents decide to refresh their kitchens or baths, countertops rank among the highest-impact upgrades. CountBricks combines deep construction know-how with real-time AI estimating to deliver stunning, budget-friendly countertop solutions tailored to Annapolis MD households.
Visual focal point – Countertops frame cabinetry, tie together backsplashes, and influence fixture choices.
Daily durability – Meal prep, homework, and entertaining all happen on this surface, so material strength is critical.
Resale value – Local real-estate data shows updated countertops recoup a significant portion of project costs at sale.
• Granite: Natural stone beauty and scratch resistance appeal to traditional Colonial homes.
• Quartz: Low-maintenance, non-porous, and perfect for busy families along the Chesapeake.
• Marble: Timeless elegance for high-end renos; CountBricks sealing treatments combat coastal humidity.
• Butcher Block: Warm, nautical vibe that pairs well with painted shaker cabinets.
1. Material selection: Price per square foot varies widely—quartz can be 15-20% less than exotic marble.
2. Slab size & seam layout: Larger islands reduce seams but increase raw material waste.
3. Edge profile: A simple eased edge saves 8-10% over intricate ogee or waterfall styles.
4. Fabrication complexity: Sink cutouts, cooktop openings, and mitered corners add labor hours.
5. Removal & disposal: Outdated laminate tear-out averages $4-$7 per square foot.
Traditional countertop estimates can take days of manual measuring and vendor calls. CountBricks compresses that timeline into minutes by pairing voice-driven site walkthroughs with our material database updated in real time.

Installing premium countertops is only step one. Proper care maximizes longevity and ROI for Annapolis homeowners. CountBricks includes a post-project maintenance plan with every install.
• Quartz: Wipe daily with mild soap; avoid abrasive pads that can dull resin binders.
• Granite: Apply CountBricks sealant annually to repel Chesapeake humidity and cooking oils.
• Marble: Immediately clean acidic spills—think crab seasoning, wine, or citrus—to prevent etching.
1. Spring: Inspect caulk lines around sinks and backsplashes; CountBricks technicians can re-seal during a 30-minute service call.
2. Summer: Check for UV exposure near large windows; we offer low-gloss protective coatings to maintain color stability.
3. Winter: Sudden temperature swings from holiday cooking can stress seams; our free winter audit ensures epoxy joints remain tight.
• Materials carry manufacturer warranties up to 15 years, registered for you by CountBricks.
• Our workmanship guarantee covers installation defects for five full years.
• Need help? A quick voice note in the app generates a support ticket—no hold music required.
