Construction Resources is a proud carrier of the Artisan Group line. If you want to get a feel of the countertops and see them in person, the Atlanta Kitchen and Bath showroom in Decatur would be the perfect place to stop by. So whether you choose more traditional granite, opt for Heritage Wood (like Construction Resources installed in Taylor Swift’s home) or another surface, turn to Construction Resources and the Artisan Group for all of your kitchen countertop needs.

The program, introduced under the watchful eye of Angelique Baez, our new director of design, is structured to be a one stop shop for builders and their clients. Instead of running all over Atlanta, builders can now bring their clients to one of Construction Resources three kitchen and bath showrooms (Decatur, Alpharetta or Lake Oconee) to select all of their options. Not sold yet? We also have the team in place to install all of your client’s choices, which in turn cuts your cost by not having to deal with subcontractors.

We also has several sister companies at your disposal including Atlanta Marble Mfg., Atlanta Kitchen, Inc., Atlanta Glass & Mirror, Inc. and Atlanta Garage Doors & Fireplaces, LLC. By offering a diverse selection, we allow our customers to simplify their ordering, scheduling and vendor process by dealing with just one salesperson and company rather than multiple salespersons and companies. Find out more by visiting Construction Resources.

Looking for a sustainable countertop? Reclaimed wood is a great choice. It complies with LEED standards and is the most eco-friendly of countertops. Wood is one of the more sanitary products for the kitchen, with inherent properties to protect it from bacteria build-up.

Wood countertops do require some maintenance, including regular mineral oil treatments. And because wood oxidizes over time, your wood countertops may change color as they age. Repair of wood countertops is generally easy and when they need updating or refreshing, most only require a bit of sanding with a 220 fine-grit sandpaper and re-oiling.

Advantages of Wood

• Natural with many eco-friendly options
• Easy to clean
• Provides a smooth, even surface
• Warm appearance and renewable surface
• Sanitary with inherent anti-bacterial properties
• Won’t dull knife blades; great for cooking
• Provides a convenient, built-in chopping/food prep area
• After heavy usage, most knife marks and deeper scratches can be removed by sanding and re-oiling
• Works well with undermount sinks

Construction Resources is pleased to offer Heritage Wood countertops. Available in more than 30 unique color options from classic, exotic and even reclaimed wood countertops.

Recently, we had the opportunity to travel to the Country Music Capital of the World to install Heritage Wood kitchen and pantry countertops for the country pop singer, songwriter and actress. Having been described by the New York Times as “one of pop’s finest songwriters,” it was quite an honor for us to be able to upgrade Swift’s home with classic countertops.

Our Heritage Wood collection offers more than 30 unique colors to choose from including exotic woods such as sapele mahogany and zebrawood end-grain; domestic woods such as American cherry and hard maple and reclaimed woods including antique heart pine and red oak.

A unique aspect of our natural wood is the fact that the color of the surface changes over time. The color change is caused by the wood’s exposure to light and air (oxidation) and varies by species. You can browse the Heritage Wood gallery to discover the perfect wood countertop for you.

Because the actual color of wood may vary, we recommend that you find a fabricator near you to view your selections in person. All of Heritage Wood countertops are backed by the Artisan Group pledge that the quality and craftsmanship will exceed your expectations.

• Clean up spills immediately – Use an absorbent cloth followed by First Line Clean & Restore
• Daily cleaning – use warm water with a few drops of mild or antibacterial dishwashing detergent. Rinse the surface thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use abrasive dry or soft cleaners or those containing harsh chemicals like ammonia.
• Hot, Hot Hot – Granite can take hot pans, but it is best to place on pans on a trivet or hot pad. Avoid placing anything with hot cooking oils on the counter top.
• Keep the cutting board – Avoid cutting directly on granite. Although it won’t hurt the granite, it will certainly dull your knives.
• Set the table – Protect your investment from food and beverage spills by using placemats and coasters
• Reseal – You should reseal your kitchen countertop every 1 to 2 years for lighter colors, and at longer intervals for darker colors. First Line Sealer, available from Construction Resources is the perfect solution.
• Create a routine – A simple weekly maintenance routine is recommended.  A good product to use is Artisan Stone Care. This three in one cleaner, polisher and protector can be found at Construction Resources.  This product cleans and conditions natural stone surfaces.  It removes grease, dirt, stains, and scuffmarks while reducing water spotting, and its unique, natural pH formula won’t harm stone. Best of all at only $20 / each plus tax, it is easily affordable.

He knows when you are on the field, it is your team that makes you look good. The same thing can be said for any kitchen remodeling project – you need to make sure you have the best team working with you when it comes to laying down your countertops. 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.

In order to get the discount, you must purchase 40 square feet or more of Artisan, Granite or Quartz countertops from Atlanta Kitchen. We recommend Cambria Quartz countertops because they are not that much more expensive than granite, but are twice as strong and will last far longer. Plus, the quartz countertops require no maintenance and are completely stain resistant. So, while you may be spending a little more up front, you will be saving money over time by avoiding maintenance costs.

However, no matter what color or design countertop you choose, our sales staff at Atlanta Marble Mfg will be able to pair a beautiful tile backsplash that perfectly complements the style. Not only is a tile backsplash aesthetically pleasing, but it serves a function as well. It is much easier to clean spills and splatters off of tile than it is off of paint.

No matter what your Atlanta kitchen remodeling project may entail, we have everything you could possibly need at Construction Resources. Visit one of our showrooms to get your questions answered and the materials you need to create the kitchen of your dreams. Happy spring everyone!
