Wisconsin's housing stock includes older farmhouses and newer suburban homes. Material durability is important due to the climate; we select cabinetry and flooring resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations.

In Wisconsin kitchens, deep forest greens, classic navy blues, or warm, creamy whites can create an expensive impression. Consider pairing these with brushed nickel or matte black hardware. A thoughtful backsplash and adequate lighting enhance the sophisticated feel.
For a Milwaukee kitchen, both quartz and granite are excellent countertop choices. Quartz is engineered and non-porous, offering superior resistance to stains and heat, which simplifies maintenance. Granite, a natural stone, presents unique patterns but requires periodic sealing.
The primary consideration for granite countertops in Wisconsin is their porous nature. Without regular sealing, they can absorb liquids, leading to stains. Granite also requires specific cleaning methods to avoid surface damage.
The material commonly referred to as 'fake granite' is quartz. It is an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments. This process allows for consistent color and pattern throughout the slab.
