    Boomers Kitchen Upgrade

    Why Baby Boomers Are Redefining Their Culinary Spaces

    by JSW Blogger |April 11, 2024 |0 Comments | Blogs, Countertops, Kitchen Trends |

    For many baby boomers, the time has come to give this vital space a makeover, with a particular focus on upgrading their kitchen countertops. But why this sudden surge in initiative, especially now that their children are grown and have flown the nest? The answer lies in the evolving dynamics of family life. As baby boomers transition into the next phase of their lives, they find themselves at the helm of multi-generational gatherings. With their kids now adults leading their own lives, baby boomers are embracing their roles as hosts, welcoming family and friends into their homes for holidays, special events, and quality time with grandchildren.

    One of the focal points of any kitchen is undoubtedly the countertops. They not only serve as functional surfaces for meal preparation but also as aesthetic focal points that set the tone for the entire space. Baby boomers, recognizing the importance of creating a welcoming and functional environment, are turning their attention to upgrading their countertops to better suit their evolving needs and tastes.

    Kitchen Renovations

    The decision to embark on kitchen renovations, including countertop upgrades, is often driven by a combination of factors. Firstly, there’s the desire to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the kitchen. Many baby boomers view their homes as reflections of their personalities and take pride in creating spaces that are both stylish and functional. Moreover, with more time on their hands now that their children have left home, baby boomers are seizing the opportunity to tackle long-awaited home improvement projects.

    These small-scale endeavors, such as updating kitchen countertops, allow them to exercise their creativity and enhance the functionality of their living spaces. Additionally, the growing trend of multi-generational living and the increasing role of grandparents in childcare have further fueled the desire for kitchen upgrades. As grandparents welcome their grandchildren into their homes for visits and extended stays, they seek to create inviting spaces where cherished memories can be made. Upgrading kitchen countertops is not just about aesthetics but also about creating a safe and practical environment for cooking with little ones and hosting family gatherings.

    Kitchen Countertop Materials

    Furthermore, advancements in kitchen countertop materials and technologies have made the renovation process more enticing for baby boomers. From durable quartz and granite to stylish marble and porcelain, there’s a plethora of options to suit every taste and budget. Moreover, features such as antimicrobial surfaces and easy-to-clean finishes appeal to baby boomers who prioritize convenience and cleanliness in their kitchens. In conclusion, the surge in initiative among baby boomers to upgrade their kitchen countertops is a reflection of their evolving lifestyles and priorities.

    As they embrace their roles as hosts and caretakers, they recognize the importance of creating welcoming and functional spaces where family and friends can come together. By investing in kitchen renovations, including countertop upgrades, baby boomers are not only enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of their homes but also creating lasting memories for generations to come.

      We are so happy with our new quartz countertops in our master bath. They did a great job and were so efficient from visiting the show room to day of install wasn't long at all! Thank you so much.
      We redid our kitchen and our contractor recommended Jackson Stoneworks. We got to walk through their showroom area where they had large slabs of various materials so we could get a better idea of how the finished product would look. Everyone was on time and did a great job.Thanks,Bill and Elisabeth Sharrett

      Jackson installed our quartz countertops last December (2021). Matthew and Harry did a nice job putting them in and were polite, friendly and professional as was everyone we dealt with from selection and ordering all the way to completion. We wanted a particular new faucet that Jackson did not carry but Constance managed to dig up a company that sold it to us directly and saved us $200 in the process.If you are planning on having an undermount sink (as we did) you need to make sure that the installers not only glue/caulk it to the underside of the countertop but also use a mechanical support (metal straps, wood braces, clamps, etc.) or your new sink will probably fall sooner rather than later. Jackson did indeed install a strap so I expect our sink to remain in place for many years. However, we originally had signed a contract with Lowes to get quartz since they had offered what seemed to be an inexpensive price. Luckily for us, their installer called the next day to schedule the install and, when I asked how they would be supporting the sink, they said all they do is caulk it -- no other support. When I cancelled the contract the next day the Lowes associate told me she happened to know that Jackson carried the particular Silestone quartz that we wanted. So we went to Jackson and were happy to find out that their price was not much more than what Lowe's charged. I contacted the regional manager for Lowe's kitchen installations but never heard back from him. Our story ended well but it is unfortunate that others out there may not be so lucky.Pics show new countertops and old ugly laminate countertop. Please pardon the ugly floor -- new flooring is last on the remodeling list.

      Jackson Stoneworks has been great. Construction since Covid has been difficult... but we've had nothing but good service from Jackson Stoneworks. They just put in a huge island for me (one huge slab) and a few more countertops... Everyone involved was perfect. Polite, efficient, professional. the job looks great. They are going to put up panoramic porcelain for me in a shower re-do (but I'm waiting on other supplies from other companies).... THESE GUYS WERE GREAT!!! JOB LOOKS FANTASTIC.

      This company is truly awesome! David came out to my house and measured for countertops and answered all my questions. Slate Creek in sales, Suzie in scheduling, Jeff in prep were all wonderful and helped with any questions. The crew of Mathew, Harry, and Alex were awesome and Mathew said this job came out perfect. We couldn't ask for better service. Thanks so much Jackson Stoneworks! We love our new granite counter tops.

            Quart Countertops

            Will Your Cabinets Support a Quartz Countertop

            by JSW Blogger |March 15, 2024 |0 Comments | Countertops, Kitchen Trends | , ,

            When it comes to kitchen renovations and upgrades, few things can transform the space quite like a beautiful quartz countertop. Renowned for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance, quartz has become a preferred choice for homeowners seeking both functionality and style in their kitchens. However, before diving headfirst into a quartz countertop installation, it’s crucial to consider whether your cabinets can adequately support the weight and structure of this premium surface material.

            At Jackson Stoneworks, we understand the importance of ensuring that every aspect of your kitchen renovation is not only visually stunning but also structurally sound. As experts in stone fabrication and installation, we’re here to shed light on the critical question: Will your cabinets support a quartz countertop?

            Assessing Cabinet Strength:

            The first step in determining whether your cabinets can support a quartz countertop is to assess their structural integrity. While many modern cabinets are designed to handle the weight of various countertop materials, older or poorly constructed cabinets may not be up to the task.

            Inspect the cabinet frames, shelves, and support structures for signs of damage or wear. Look for sagging shelves, loose joints, or warped panels, as these issues can compromise the stability of your countertops. Cabinets that are in good condition and made from sturdy materials such as plywood or hardwood are more likely to support the weight of a quartz countertop.

            Consider Weight Distribution:

            Quartz countertops are heavier than materials like laminate or wood, so it’s essential to consider how the weight will be distributed across your cabinet framework. Unlike granite, which typically requires additional support in the form of braces or corbels, quartz countertops are often supported primarily by the cabinets themselves.

            Ensure that your cabinets have a solid base and adequate support along the edges where the countertop will rest. Reinforcing weak spots or adding additional support may be necessary, particularly if your cabinets are older or were not originally designed to accommodate heavy stone surfaces.

            Consult with Professionals:

            When in doubt, it’s always wise to seek the advice of professionals who specialize in kitchen renovations and countertop installations. A qualified contractor or kitchen designer can assess your cabinet situation and provide recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

            At Jackson Stoneworks, our team of experienced craftsmen has the expertise to guide you through every step of the countertop installation process. From initial consultations to final inspections, we’ll work closely with you to ensure that your cabinets are ready to support the stunning quartz countertop of your dreams.

            Before You Invest

            Before investing in a quartz countertop for your kitchen, it’s essential to verify that your cabinets can adequately support its weight and structure. By assessing the strength of your cabinet framework, considering weight distribution, and consulting with professionals, you can ensure a successful and long-lasting countertop installation.

            At Jackson Stoneworks, we’re committed to helping you achieve the kitchen of your dreams while prioritizing safety, functionality, and durability. Contact us today to learn more about our quartz countertop options and expert installation services.

            Why Real Estate Experts and Home Builders Recommend Quartz for Large Kitchens

            by JSW Blogger |March 7, 2024 |0 Comments | Countertops, Kitchen Trends

            In the realm of kitchen design and construction, one material has risen to prominence for its unrivaled combination of durability, aesthetics, and functionality: quartz. Real estate experts and home builders alike consistently advocate for quartz as the premier choice for large kitchens, and there are compelling reasons behind this recommendation.

            Quartz countertops have become synonymous with luxury and sophistication in modern kitchen design. Composed of natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments, quartz countertops offer a stunning array of colors and patterns, mimicking the appearance of natural stone while providing superior durability and consistency. This versatility makes quartz an ideal choice for large kitchens, where both style and practicality are paramount.

            One of the primary reasons why quartz is favored for large kitchens is its exceptional durability. Unlike natural stones such as marble or granite, quartz is non-porous, meaning it is resistant to stains, scratches, and bacterial growth. This makes it highly suitable for high-traffic areas like large kitchens, where spills, food preparation, and frequent use are commonplace. Families with children or those who entertain frequently can benefit greatly from the resilience of quartz countertops, which can withstand the rigors of daily life without losing their luster or requiring extensive maintenance.

            Moreover, quartz countertops offer unmatched consistency in color and pattern, ensuring a seamless look across expansive kitchen surfaces. This uniformity is particularly advantageous in large kitchens, where continuity and cohesion are essential for creating a visually appealing space. Whether designing a contemporary culinary haven or a traditional family gathering spot, quartz provides endless design possibilities without sacrificing durability or performance.

            Beyond aesthetics and durability, quartz countertops are also highly practical for large families who require a kitchen that can withstand the demands of daily life. With its heat and scratch resistance, quartz is an excellent choice for families who frequently cook and bake, as hot pots and pans can be placed directly on the surface without fear of damage. Furthermore, the non-porous nature of quartz makes it easy to clean and maintain, requiring only mild soap and water for routine upkeep.

            For families with children, quartz countertops offer peace of mind, as they are inherently hygienic and resistant to stains from spills or messes. This makes them an ideal choice for busy households where cleanliness and convenience are paramount. Additionally, quartz countertops are less likely to harbor bacteria or mold, providing a healthier environment for cooking and food preparation.

            In conclusion, the recommendation of quartz as the best material for large kitchens by real estate experts and home builders is well-founded. Its unmatched combination of durability, aesthetics, and functionality makes it an ideal choice for creating stunning and practical kitchen spaces that cater to the needs of modern families. Whether designing a sprawling culinary oasis or a bustling family hub, quartz countertops offer the perfect blend of style and substance for large kitchens.

            Must-Have Features for a Small Kitchen

            by JSW Blogger |February 29, 2024 |0 Comments | Blogs, Countertops, Kitchen Trends

            Not everybody wants or has space for a sprawling kitchen. And a compact kitchen doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style and functionality. As a Countertops salesperson, I often advise clients with small kitchens on how to maximize their tight layouts. Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks for making the most of these small spaces.

            1. Invisible Hardware

            It might not seem like a big deal, but protruding cabinet knobs and pulls can take up a consequential amount of visual and physical space.

            A “handleless” kitchen features cabinets with a lip or touch latch. This approach creates a seamless, minimal look without visual interruptions. And that’s important in a compact space where you want to feel more open.

            2. Open Shelves

            If your kitchen feels cramped, removing all or some of your upper cabinets might be the best option for you. This is a sure way to open up the visual space around the room, making the kitchen appear much larger than it is.

            Plenty of light is important in a small space, and upper cabinets can sometimes cast a shadow over the countertops, making the workspace feel darker than necessary. So skipping those uppers can really open a space up. Running tile on the backsplash to the ceiling can also help visually heighten the look of the room.

            If you’re worried about losing the storage from ditching upper cabinets, consider a hardworking island, if you have the space, or consult with a design pro to really maximize your lower cabinet storage with pullouts, drawers and other high-functioning components.

            Open shelves are another option. You want your shelves to have a depth of at least 10 inches. This is important if you want the shelving to hold dinner plates or other wide items. Open shelves also allow you to easily change your decor with the seasons, giving you a dynamic focal point that will keep your small kitchen feeling new and fresh.

            Choosing the same color for your shelves and walls can help the shelves visually disappear, creating an airy vibe and letting your stylish dishes and decorative items pop. But keep in mind: With open shelves, be prepared to stay a little more organized, and plan to do a little extra dusting.

            3. Pattern

            Bringing in a large design statement like a bold pattern can help detract from your minimal square footage and give your tiny space a big personality.

            Plus, a little goes a long way. Using a dramatic pattern often works better in a small kitchen than in a large one because a small area of pattern can deliver just the right amount of style. With a larger area, too much pattern can overwhelm the space.

            4. Corner Storage

            Every square inch counts in a small kitchen, and that means you can’t allow dead corners.

            Designing a corner is often a tricky affair that requires a delicate balance between form and functionality. Notice how the open shelves in this Seattle kitchen wrap around a corner to maximize storage and display space while maintaining an open feel. Also note a few of the other tricks mentioned in this article, such as using light colors to visually recede cabinets, playing with pattern,s and running backsplash tile to the ceiling to add visual height.

            A corner countertop cabinet is another idea worth considering. Extending the cabinet all the way to the ceiling maximizes storage but also makes the room feel bigger by drawing the eye up. A win-win.

            Or consider a corner sink. Since work at the sink is often stationary, corner placement leaves space for another person to move freely, putting away groceries, preparing ingredients, accessing the fridge or tending to food on a stove.

            One thing to keep in mind before making this decision is that corner sinks tend to be smaller than standard ones. If you use a lot of big dishes and utensils, this may not be the best option for you.

            5. Stylish Countertop Appliances

            If your kitchen is small, you’re going to need to make the most of every spot, including your counter surface. This means some of your day-to-day items may need to be kept visible, especially if your cabinet space lacks room for small appliances.

            Investing in items you love and that look good is worth it, as they’ll be on display for everyone to see. The white toaster shown here looks at home amid the stylish white-and-wood design.
