        "text": "The choice between natural stone like marble and engineered quartz comes down to maintenance and appearance. Marble offers unique veining and high heat resistance, but it is porous and requires regular sealing to resist staining from acidic foods like citrus and tomato sauce. Quartz is non-porous, highly resistant to staining, and never requires sealing, making it lower maintenance for busy family kitchens. We help clients weigh these daily maintenance tradeoffs when planning their countertops and coordinating matching wall tile or custom backsplashes.",
