Marble requires a bit (sometimes a lot) of maintenance and for many people, the effort isn't worth the headache. I have 3 kids at home, run two full time businesses, and homeschool all these little humans. With teenagers at home, I often wake up to food and drink covered countertops from their nighttime cooking shenanigans, come home to paint and glue at the island from my creative artsy daughter, and to be real embarrassingly transparent- there's usually a mound of dishes waiting to be washed at any given time next to the sink.

It's on my someday list.
Here's a few things to keep in mind if you're considering adding marble to your home.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND A HANDYMAN/HOME MAINTENANCE COMPANY? Legally, there are many. North Carolina currently does not license or qualify Handymen or other Home Maintenance companies. The North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors licenses and qualifies General Contractors to contract work within the State. It is in fact ILLEGAL for any individual or company that is not also a licensed North Carolina General Contractor to bid on any work exceeding $30,000. Also note, ALL electrical and plumbing must be completed by a licensed professional- Handymen can not legally perform any of these services in NC. Your Contractor will hire appropriately licensed subcontractors to complete these tasks.
