Quartz Countertops in Leaskdale
Leaskdale is a hamlet on Durham Regional Road 1 in Uxbridge Township, best known for the 1886 manse where Lucy Maud Montgomery lived from 1911 to 1926 and wrote eleven of her books. Homes here run old, and old homes need a fabricator who templates on site. We cut and polish in Pickering ourselves. Call 289-939-1193 or submit the form and we bring the samples north to you.
The hamlet took its name from the Leask family when the post office opened in 1857, and it was part of Scott Township until the 1974 amalgamation into Uxbridge. St. Paul's Presbyterian, rebuilt in 1906, still anchors the road, with the manse just north of it. Century brick homes, thick walls, and kitchens that were rooms before they were kitchens.

Leaskdale countertop questions, answered
Is quartz the right choice for a century home in Leaskdale?
It suits them well, mostly because the edge profile does the heritage work. A thicker mitred edge or a simple eased edge reads period-appropriate next to painted shaker doors, while a heavy ogee usually does not. Quartz also needs no sealing, which matters in a house with an older well and harder water. Bring your concerns to the in-home visit — the consultant lays samples on your actual cabinets and you judge it in your own light.
Do you cover Leaskdale, or only the bigger Durham towns?
Leaskdale is on our regular route. It is the northern end of Durham Region, up past Uxbridge, and our consultants run that way often enough that a home visit is a normal booking rather than a special trip. You do not need to drive to Uxbridge or down to Pickering to get started, and there is no charge for the visit. Give us a window that works, including evenings, and someone comes to the house.
Can you do the laundry room and mudroom at the same time?
Yes, and in the older Leaskdale houses those rooms often need it more than the kitchen does. A quartz laundry counter over front-loaders gives you a folding surface that will not swell like melamine when it gets wet, and a mudroom bench top in the same colour ties the back of the house together. Cutting them from the same slab run keeps the pattern consistent. Point them out during the in-home measurement and they go into one price.
Is there a charge for the in-home consultation in Leaskdale?
None, and no obligation attached to it. A design consultant drives out, brings real samples from all nine brands, laser-measures the kitchen and any other rooms you want done, and gives you the exact installed price during that visit. You are not paying for a measurement, a drawing or a design fee. If you decide against it, that is the end of it. The pricing depends entirely on your layout, colour, edge and cutouts, which is why it is worked out at your table. Call 289-939-1193.
