Exploring the Latest Trends in Granite Countertops for Reno Homes

Granite countertops continue to be a popular choice for Reno homeowners, offering a blend of elegance, durability, and timeless appeal. As trends evolve, new styles, finishes, and innovative applications emerge, making granite a versatile option for any home. Here’s a look at the latest trends in granite countertops for Reno homes and how D & L Tile can help you incorporate these trends into your next home project.

Trending Granite Countertop Styles

Bold and Unique Patterns
- Homeowners are increasingly opting for granite slabs with dramatic veining and unique patterns. These bold designs can create a stunning focal point in any kitchen or bathroom.
Matte Finishes
- While polished granite has been the standard, matte or honed finishes are gaining popularity for their understated elegance and modern appeal. Matte finishes also tend to hide fingerprints and smudges better than polished surfaces.
Mixed Materials
- Combining granite with other materials such as wood, metal, or concrete is a growing trend. This mix-and-match approach adds depth and character to your countertops and overall kitchen or bathroom design.
Neutral and Earthy Tones
- Neutral colors like whites, grays, and beiges remain popular, but there’s also a growing interest in earthy tones like greens, browns, and rusts. These colors bring warmth and a natural feel to your spaces.
Waterfall Edges
- A waterfall edge, where the granite extends vertically down the sides of the countertop, creates a sleek and continuous look. This trend is especially popular in kitchen islands and bathroom vanities.
Integrated Sinks
- Granite countertops with integrated sinks offer a seamless and clean look. This trend not only enhances aesthetics but also makes cleaning and maintenance easier.

It was a treat to deal with a smaller, local tile company. The price is the same if not better than the big box stores, or mega tile shops. The personal contact is so nice. D&L were professional from the very start, and they even honored a quote that gave me from a year past! how's that for service ? Highly recommend.

Everyone is super knowledgeable and very kind. We got a granite slab for our counters and they sourced it super fast and had it cut and installed even faster. The installers didn't leave any hint that they were there besides our beautiful counters. Emilie who helped us pick out our backsplash was very thorough in choosing which samples would pair with the color and the very first one she gave us was the one we went with and we are super happy with the result. Will go through then again for our next project hands down.

D&L tile was recommended to us by 2 different contractors in town. They were able to hold our material until our cabinets were installed. They were very honest through the process even when things didn’t go as planned. We are glad we went through them and highly recommend them to anyone for future project.

Steve, Ryan and Emilie were great to work with, they took the time to walk me through all the different options for my kitchen counter tops and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The installers were also great to work with. They showed up on time, were courteous and cleaned up at the end of each day. I would recommend D&L Tile to anyone that is in need of new solid surface counter tops or tile work.

D & L gave a 5 Star performance remodeling my kitchen and master bath. With Emilie's expertise and product knowledge, choosing the materials was a snap. Scheduling and ordering was timely and Ikar and Frankie skillfully moved past installation obstacles to complete an artistic end product. This team is highly recommended.

Great job. D&L people were all professional and personable. Couldn't have asked for a better job. Fast, efficient and the price was right. We are going to hire them again very soon.

Emilie and the installers were awesome to work with beginning to end. They were able to come take measurements the day after we first called them, And helped us figure out the right stone and backsplash to achieve the look we were were going for. Installation was easy and scheduling was a breeze, even when we hit a bump in the road they were very accommodating. We 100% will use them again. Here is a before and after.

Selected D&L Tile to fab our outdoor BBQ Kitchen countertop. Couldn't be happier with the whole process. Timely at every step and excellent quality in the finished job. Have one more project and will definitely engage them again. Thanks D&L!

Breathtaking! What was once a blank canvas wall is now a stunning double sided fireplace. Simple yet elegant. The 3D stack stone marble wall is a statement piece.Thank you D & L Tile for your creativity and vision for adding the winglets to create a complete finished appearance. A special thank your to your installer Victor for his meticulous attention to detail. Without your amazing talent, I would have missed the beauty for which I have received.

We were referred to D&L tile by our realtor who has seen some of their work. We went to their shop and found them very pleasant and easy to work with. They did a great job putting in new counters in an existing kitchen and importantly, did it when they said they would. We were more than happy with the results, it turned out better than expected and has received many compliments.

Recently had to renovate an entire main bathroom shower. Deciding on tile replacement was difficult since it would have to blend with the rest of the bathroom tile. D and L did a great job in helping me select and install new tile. They corrected errors made in the original shower and Daniel expertly installed the tile to be sure everything was level. Definitely would recommend this company.

Just finished getting my counters and floor finished up by D&L. I went down to the showroom and from the start they immediately were extremely helpful with design, styles, materials, etc. The installation process was on time and well done and I don’t think I could have been any happier! I definitely suggest using them, and I will be using them again in the future!

When we were searching for someone to do our upgrades for our home we had reached out to a contractor. The contractor wants an astronomical amount of money that just was not within budget. We found D and L tile for our countertop and found out they did other tiling work! We just hired them for our full job and are so excited to see the completed project. We appreciate D and L tile for working with us and making everything within budget! They are wonderful people and I can’t wait to see their final work. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking to do any tiling and countertops in the kitchen and bathroom.

A customer came into the office, he is 84 years old and doesn’t have an email so he asked me to post a review about how great of an experience he had with his bathroom floor installation. He said that Derek(installer) was first rate and went above and beyond to give him a great experience. As soon as photos come in I will upload them.Per: David Hohnson

D&L Tile completed a demo and new install of quartzite countertops and tile backsplash in our kitchen. Every person that we interacted with was a pleasure to work with. Zack came out and did the initial measuring and quote. He was very thorough and polite. Grant and McKenna did the demolition and did a nice job of protecting our home from any damage and dust. Dena’s eye for detail guided us in our selection of the stone and tile. She was very quick to narrow down the many selections that they offered. Ryan came to measure with his high tech measuring technology and was very friendly, knowledgeable and polite throughout the process. We did not meet the stone installers but they did a great job. The fit and finish was perfect especially around the farm sink! Cameron did a great job on the backsplash. We have an older home that is not flat, plumb, level or square but he mastered the install nicely. The turnaround time was faster than we anticipated thanks to Mark who kept the schedule moving day by day. By the way, these are all the type of people that we felt comfortable leaving the front door unlocked to get in when we weren’t there. Many thanks to a great team effort!

We had a great experience with D&L, very happy with the results. Also very happy with the service and communication. I would recommend them to anyone.

19:42 28 Feb 23

We're very pleased with D&L Tille. We had a master bathroom countertop fabricated and installed and it's beautiful. We worked with Ryan Boucher who was very helpful and informative. He gave us suggestions that saved us quite a bit of money, which is always nice!There was a quick turnaround time too. The template guy (Sorry...I didn't get his name) came on a Tuesday, and they installed it the following Monday.Could not be happier with the entire experience!

Backsplash looks amazing. Better than I expected. D & L is a great company to work with. I have used them for both my bathroom and kitchen remodels since 2017.

D&L did a beautiful job installing a new quartz countertop in our newly remodeled kitchen.They were not only well organized, timely and conscientious with the install but friendly, polite and went out of their way to keep any dust from reaching other parts of the house. We will definitely go through D&L the next time we purchase granite or tile.

This review is long overdue! After calling about 15 tile & granite companies for installation we finally called D&L Tile. They are the only company that actually answered the phone and/or returned our call! We had all of our materials and just needed someone to do the installation.They were responsive and got us on their schedule! We had kitchen counters/backsplash, bathroom shower, counters, floor and wall done through them. Along with our sons vanity. The process was flawless! They are professional and their communication was great! Thank you Ryan, Mark and everyone at D&L Tile that worked with us to get our job done!!We are very happy with everything!!

The replacement of our granite counter tops went very smoothly. Starting with removal, and the installation was accomplished without a flaw. D&L’s team were very professional, courteous, and friendly. Great job all around!

They are truly artistic! Our quartzite slab was chisled and cut perfectly. They surpassed our expectations by far. Thank you so much for helping make our dream kitchen a reality.

D&L Tile did an amazing job! We had quartz countertops and glass backsplash installed. All of the installers were on time and very professional. The cabinets were delayed from a different company and Ryan was very accommodating and immediately scheduled the work to be done the minute all the cabinets arrived. Ryan went above and beyond to come out the night before we had a our daughters graduation party and install the plywood for the countertops just so we would have a place to put food. I would highly recommend D&L tile for order and install!

Don't have enough time or space to say enough about D&L Tile! Almost five years ago we contracted with them to do two bathroom remodels - no small feat. Amazing results!!!We hired them again in 2020 to do an extensive remodel which included demo, flooring, countertops, backsplash, bathroom tile, etc. They truly made our vision materialize! I had a design idea in mind and they helped hone the concept. I greatly admired their communication level - I'm a realist and know that nothing ever goes perfectly however they came close to perfection because we had realistic expectations and conversations throughout the whole project. This is a family owned company and they treat their customers with respect and professionalism. The quality of their work speaks for itself - their employees are true craftsmen!We have had an abundance of compliments on the finished product. We have and will continue to refer D&L Tile to anyone looking to transform their spaces!

Steve and Ryan were a pleasure to work with! We had a granite in mind that was unavailable. They went to extra lengths to find one that was similar. The craftsmanship of our granite countertops and the install of the herringbone tiled backsplash is really beyond words. They walked us through every step of the process in a timely manner. Their scheduled services happened as promised. Communication was top-notch. Thank you D & L Tile!!

Amazing workmanship! We bought our vacation home without viewing and of course, hated the kitchen sinks once we actually moved in. Our plumber referred D and L to help us update the sinks. Ryan scheduled a visit within days from the first call I made to D and L Tiles. Ryan took measurements and pictures of the granite cutouts. Even though the new stainless steel sinks were NOT present at the time of Ryan's visit, he was able to make create miracles with pictures I sent him. Ryan kept us updated throughout the process since we still reside in California. Within two weeks, D and L tiles took out the old kitchen sinks, cut out the granite countertops to install our new larger stainless steel sinks. We are EXTREMELY happy with the work D and L did for us. They left our kitchen really cleaned and SPECTAULAR! We look forward to having D and L Tiles updating our flooring and bathrooms in the future.

I was a walk-in client to the D&L showroom in Reno. And there, Jeff helped me to find the correct kitchen countertop that matched my sample and the correct bathroom countertop to meet my requirements. Because D&L also has their own fabrication space, the timing of delivery and install is more streamlined. Ryan who measured And installed the countertop with his team was great. He was on time for every meeting, very responsive via phone, and a pleasure to work with. I’ll be going back to D&L for our next project And recommending them to my contractor friends.

D&L Tile remodeled our kitchen and it looks absolutely amazing! I can't decide which I like more, the tile or the granite counter-tops! Aside from the end results, Steve and Ryan were so easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about who to hire for the cabinets or plumbing, they helped line all of that up. Everyone was super patient with my indecisiveness, their knowledge and expertise in selecting coordinating tiles for floor, backsplash and granite countertops inspired the look that I admire everyday. I can't wait until I can call them back to remodel our master bathroom! You won't regret calling D&L Tile!
