        "text": "Before choosing a countertop, compare durability, maintenance, heat and stain considerations, edge profiles, seam locations, slab availability, sink type, and the cabinet support required. The best material depends on how the kitchen is used, not just its appearance. Context: Large islands, tight access, complex corners, and selected slab patterns can affect fabrication and installation. Countertops are also tied to cabinet dimensions, appliance panels, backsplash thickness, and plumbing fixtures. Key factors: - Cooking intensity and maintenance tolerance. - Seam visibility and slab size. - Budget for material, fabrication, demolition, and installation. Practical guidance: Bring cabinet drawings and appliance specifications when reviewing samples, and ask where seams, outlets, and supports will be placed. Confirm final measurements after cabinets are installed or verified. Soft positioning: Elite Remodeling & Design can coordinate countertop decisions with cabinetry and the broader design-build sequence.",
