Countertop Materials for Novi, MI Homes
Quartz Countertops
Quartz fits the Novi household that leaves early and gets home late. It resists staining from coffee, wine, and cooking oils without sealing, and its color range covers the maple and painted cabinetry in most homes here.
Natural Stone Countertops
Natural stone brings depth, variance, and an individualized pattern to a Novi island. Granite, quartzite, and marble each carry their own movement and character—no two natural stone kitchens are alike. All natural stone surfaces require periodic sealing, which Lakeside reviews with you during selection.
Porcelain Countertops
Porcelain adds standout designs and bold color to Novi kitchens built for entertaining. It is non-porous and resistant to water, heat, and stains, and it carries well onto a waterfall panel or a full-height backsplash. See the porcelain countertops collection before narrowing your list.
Wood Countertops
Wood countertops add warmth and natural texture to Novi spaces.. A butler’s pantry, a bar top, or one island section in wood adds interest and variation to the space.
Countertop Remnants
Countertop remnants suit thepaces in a Novi home that do not require a full slab. A hall bath vanity, a laundry counter, or a lower-level wet bar may be perfect candidates for the unique value of a remnant and still get laser templating and professional installation.

We Proudly Serve Novi, MI with Custom Countertops
Novi sits where I-96, I-696, and I-275 converge, which is a large part of why the city grew the way it did after Twelve Oaks opened in 1977. The housing that followed runs from Meadowbrook Glens and Village Oaks through Willowbrook Farms to the newer stretches of Island Lake and Bellagio, most of it built from the 1990s onward around Walled Lake, Lakeshore Park, and the Tollgate Farm acreage on the north side. Lakeside Surfaces proudly serves Novi homeowners working on kitchens that are now twenty to thirty years into their first set of surfaces, along with the baths, laundry rooms, and bar areas that tend to come with them.

FAQs About Countertops in Novi, MI

What countertop material works best in a Novi home built in the 1990s or 2000s?
Quartz is common in Novi kitchens, as these spaces were built with long runs and large islands where a consistent pattern reads well, and because it asks nothing of you in maintenance. Porcelain is worth a look if you want a thinner profile or a bolder design statement in the same footprint.
How do I clean and care for quartz countertops?
Mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth handle everyday cleaning. Skip abrasive pads and harsh chemicals such as bleach or oven cleaner, and use a trivet under hot pans rather than setting cookware directly on the surface. Quartz needs no sealing, so there is no annual maintenance step to remember. At install, Lakeside will leave a bottle of our Pristine Clean (™) surface cleaner, which has been specially formulated by Lakeside to take care of your hardworking countertops.
What is porcelain, and when is it the right choice for a Novi kitchen?
Porcelain is a dense, kiln-fired surface that is non-porous and resistant to water, heat, and stains. It suits a Novi kitchen where you want a thin, architectural edge, a bold pattern, or a matching full-height backsplash. It is also a strong option for vertical applications such as fireplace and shower surrounds.
Can Lakeside coordinate a kitchen island and a bar top in the same Novi project?
Yes, Lakeside can coordinate projects within multiple spaces in your home. A kitchen and living room or lower-level bar top is a common request in homes with a finished lower level. Running both through one project keeps the material selection coordinated and puts the island, the bar, and any bath or laundry surfaces on a single templating and installation schedule rather than spreading them across separate visits.
