Quartz Countertops in Prince Albert
When the railway reached Port Perry in 1871, Prince Albert's businesses picked up and moved a mile north, and the village has been residential ever since. It started as Daytons Corners in 1825 and took its present name in 1840 for Queen Victoria's consort. Because every piece is cut and polished in our own shop, the schedule for a Scugog job stays under our control from start to finish.
This is the oldest settlement in the area — older than Port Perry by decades — and the housing shows it, including an 1866 brick church still standing from a congregation founded in 1845. Village lots are tight, frontages modest, kitchens compact and often reworked more than once. Access and seam planning matter more here than raw square footage does.

Prince Albert countertop questions, answered
The houses in Prince Albert sit close together on small lots. Can you still get a slab in?
Yes. Tight frontage and a short walk from the truck to the door is a village problem we deal with constantly, and it is largely solved by planning. The consultant notes the parking situation, the path to the entry and the interior turns during the free in-home visit, and we fabricate accordingly in Pickering. If a piece needs a seam to make the corner, we place it where it is least visible and tell you exactly where before cutting.
Can we stay in the house while the work is done?
Nearly everyone does. Templating to installation can run as little as one to five days, and installation itself is usually a single day for a kitchen. The stone arrives already cut and polished from our shop, so the dust and noise of fabrication never enters your house. Plan for the sink to be out of service briefly around the changeover. The consultant will walk you through the day-by-day sequence during the in-home visit.
Can I put quartz in a 19th-century Prince Albert house without it looking wrong?
You can, and the choice of colour does most of the work. In a house with original trim and older proportions, a quartz with subtle movement and a warmer undertone tends to sit comfortably; a bright, high-gloss white can fight the room. We carry more than 800 colours across nine brands, and the consultant brings samples to your kitchen so you judge them against the actual woodwork and light rather than against a showroom wall.
When do I find out what the job costs?
During the free in-home consultation, before the consultant leaves your house. They arrive with real stone samples, help you settle on a colour and edge profile, laser-measure the kitchen, and then give you the exact installed price — including old countertop removal if you want it. Nothing is left to be confirmed later. The visit costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Book through the form or call 289-939-1193; evening and weekend appointments are available.
