Most Popular Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

Choosing the best countertops for your kitchen is an important decision, but it doesn't have to be a hard one. One of the best ways to narrow down your search is to find out what kind of countertop material you'd like to use. While it's true that material and style trends change over time, there are several counters that have always been top sellers.

Some of the most popular countertops we sell include:

Marble Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

There's no way around it - marble adds jaw-dropping beauty to just about any room and is known for its good looks. It is a dense stone that comes in many different hues like greens, browns, pinks, greys, whites, and more. While marble countertops often have otherworldly beauty, they can be susceptible to stains and cracks. Marble is also considered one of the most expensive counters to choose from, though the truth is marble comes in a wide range of qualities and prices.

  • Pros: Stunning beauty, plenty of beautiful choices.
  • Cons: Not always used in kitchens due to chance of staining.
  • Popular Colors: Portinari, Shadow Storm, Super White, Lumen, Calacatta Linconni, Nobulato Honned, Shadow, Grey Imperiale Honed.

Granite Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

When it comes to popularity, granite countertops take the cake. Granite countertops usually contain a blend of quartz, feldspar, mica, and other minerals. Granite can add an edge of elegance and even a country-chic feel to your kitchen, making it a well-rounded stone. Granite is durable and scratch-resistant, though it can require sealing and DIY chip repair.

  • Pros: Luxurious, rich look featuring natural stone that is durable, heat resistant, and scratch-resistant.
  • Cons: Hard material that may require DIY chip repair and sealing.
  • Popular Colors: Blue Jeans, Creama Pearl, Alure, Galaxy White, Luna Pear, Steel Grey, Ubatuba, Oro Brazil.

Quartz Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

Quartz is a manufactured material that represents one of our favorite four-letter words: easy! If you're looking to add a high-end feel to your kitchen or bathroom, quartz is an excellent material to consider. Like granite, quartz countertops can add a decadent vibe to any room. Unlike granite, you may not have to seal quartz quite as often (if ever).

  • Pros: Quartz countertops come in plenty of colors to choose from and are easy to clean. They are also strong, scratch-resistant, and don't require sealing.
  • Cons: Quartz is not as heat resistant as other materials like granite counters. Sharp corners tend to crack, but that can be remedied with rounded corners.
  • Popular Colors: Noble Grey, Raw Concrete, Frosty Carrina, Shitake, Pebble, Pietra Grey, Sierra Madre, Arctic.

Silestone Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

A manufactured material made from quartz crystals, Silestone countertops are equal parts gorgeous and practical. Known for being a durable, non-porous choice, Silestone is resistant to stains, scratches, and even some forms of bacteria. Homeowners who choose Silestone do so because they can get a high-end look without having to worry too much about maintenance. Silestone counters look great in many different homes, from contemporary abodes with modern accents to vintage-looking kitchens.

  • Pros: Silestone countertops are non-porous, meaning germs and bacteria can't lodge themselves inside this material. This makes Silestone counters great for kitchens and bathrooms alike. This material also comes in a wide variety of colors and resists scratches and chips. Overall, Silestone is an excellent choice if you want to make a solid long-term investment without much upkeep.
  • Cons: While Silestone is great if you're looking for a low-maintenance counter option, it can be sensitive to harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia. Silestone is also not recommended for outdoor use since the resins used to make the material do not do well with UV light.
  • Popular Colors: Daria, Gray Expo, Lagoon, Calacatta Gold, Arctic, Blanco City, Gris Expo, Desert Silver

Quartzite Countertops in Cane Bay, SC

Not to be confused with quartz countertops, which are manmade, quartzite is a naturally occurring stone that is quarried much in the same way that granite is. If you're a fan of marble counters, quartzite mimics its looks without as much upkeep. Like granite, it is a very durable choice and adds an upscale feeling to almost any room you choose.

  • Pros: Since it doesn't require any special cleaners, quartzite looks great without much maintenance. When it gets dirty, soap and water should be all you need to clean. Quartzite is also a great long-term option since it doesn't wear down quickly at all.
  • Cons: Heat is required to form quartzite. However, you should avoid putting hot pots and pans on your quartzite countertops. Because quartzite comes in many different varieties, some forms of quartzite need to be sealed more often than others.
  • Popular Colors: Maya, Fusion, Locomotion, Callacata, Airy Concrete, Cocada White

Which Countertop is Right for You?

 Kitchen Remodeling With Marble Countertops Cane Bay, SC

How Will You Use Your Countertops in Cane Bay?

The first and perhaps most crucial part of your countertop choice should stem from how you and your family use your countertops. For example, if you have kids, your counters will probably see a lot of activity. Between standard eating times and "in-between" meals that teens are known for, your counters might double as food prep stations. As such, you might need a countertop material that is resistant to most food and beverage stains. If you own a rental property that sees a lot of foot traffic from strangers, you might want to consider an economical material that is also durable.

  • Do you cook a lot?
  • Do you host a lot of parties?
  • How long will you be living in your home?
  • How long will you be living in your home?
Once you figure out exactly how you'll be using your countertops, you can begin to narrow down your choices.

How Much Upkeep Is Too Much?

Be realistic and honest with yourself about this question. Before you fall in love with how a countertop material looks, be sure you understand how much upkeep is needed. Some materials require more care, while others don't need much at all.

Keep these points in mind:
  • Materials like quartz only need to be wiped down occasionally.
  • Materials like granite, marble, and limestone will need to be sealed at least once a year.
  • Some materials may be durable but aren't stain resistant.

The bottom line is this: Assess the maintenance demands that come along with the materials you're looking at. Marble countertops in Cane Bay, SC are elegant, but if you'e unwilling to keep them looking their best, why bother buying the material?

You should be aware that most countertop materials will require some form of upkeep, even if it' minimal. To help keep your counters in pristine condition, consider these care and precaution tips:

  • Many common foods contain acids that will dull or even damage the surface of stone countertops.Use coasters to protect your counters, especially if you'e drinking something with citrus juices or alcohol.
  • Do not place scalding hot pots or pans directly on your countertops.
  • Use mats or trivets to place under hot dishes.
  • If you spill liquid on your countertops, blot the spill with a paper towel ASAP. Wiping the spill will cause it to spread.
  • Use mild soap and plain water to clean up stains.

Which Colors and Materials Match Your Home's Aesthetics?

For many homeowners, this question is almost always top-of-mind. After all, you want to choose colors and materials that fit well with other features in your home. When selecting your countertop materials, try to choose a tone that contrasts with your other amenities, like your cabinets. Don't go for a perfect match. As an example, black granite is a beautiful contrast to white cabinets.

Consider these questions when choosing your countertop materials:
  • Are there one or two colors that you love more than others?
  • Does your choice go well with the color of your kitchen's walls?
  • Do you want to switch up your kitchen's style or keep it the same?
  • Will you be painting your kitchen a different color in the future?
  • Will you be replacing your appliances soon?

Parents frustrated over limited tickets sold to Cane Bay High School’s homecoming dance

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Several parents with students at Cane Bay High School are upset after a limited number of tickets were sold for next Saturday’s homecoming dance, which means their children would not be able to attend.

Parents who reached out to News 2 this week said the homecoming dance will be held in the commons area of Cane Bay High School, which can accommodate 700 students. But they said the problem is the school has more than 2,000 students.

Brandi Norwood’s daughter is a junior at the high school. And because she’s on the cheer team, Norwood said she’s expected to participate in all of the homecoming events next week.

“It feels defeating to them. They’re encouraged by staff and admin to come together, to be involved in school spirit—that’s how you build community, but then for them to be told, ‘There’s not enough room. You can’t go.’”

Except for the main event – next Saturday’s homecoming dance – because she did not purchase a ticket in time.

“I was given a link to buy tickets, and I wasn’t in a hurry. I got off of work the next day and attempted to buy tickets and it was sold out,” said Norwood.

Norwood said the dance is typically held in the school’s commons area and the 700-ticket cap is nothing new. But she said she’s never had an issue with purchasing tickets for her two older daughters in the past.

“We were told that it was first-come, first-serve and that the tickets were sold within a day, and the link had been posted the day before in the middle of the day,” Norwood explained.

She said there was not adequate communication from the school prior to that link being sent out; however, another parent says there was.

“It was put out that there were a limited amount of tickets, get your tickets early. That was put out,” said Kristin Tanner, whose child also attends Cane Bay High School.

Norwood claims one reason tickets may have gone quickly is because they were distributed differently than in previous years.

“Sophomores and freshmen were allowed to buy tickets, which in the past as far as I understand, seniors and juniors were given preference and then so on and so forth,” she said.

Norwood said she, along with many other parents, is simply disappointed.

“I’ve heard from a lot of other parents who have seniors who have bought dresses and have been preparing and can’t go to the dance,” she said.

Other parents say they cannot sympathize with those who bought clothes before buying a ticket to the dance.

“You put the cart before the horse. That’s what I say to that,” Tanner said.

News 2 reached out to the Berkeley County School District and received the following statement:

“Tickets to the Cane Bay High School Homecoming Dance were made available to all students in a fair and consistent manner. While all schools would love the opportunity to welcome the entire school population to an event held in one location of the school, that is not possible due to fire codes and capacity restriction of rooms and spaces,” said Katie Tanner, Chief Communications & Engagement Officer, BCSD.

Ashley Ridge knocks off Cane Bay to earn first win for new coach

SUMMERVILLE — Ashley Ridge made a winner of new head coach Jeff Tate, knocking off rival Cane Bay by 33-12 in a high school football game played at Summerville’s Memorial Stadium. It was Ashley Ridge’s season opener.Sophomore quarterback Trevor Kalisz, making his first varsity start, led the charge with an impressive passing performance.

SUMMERVILLE — Ashley Ridge made a winner of new head coach Jeff Tate, knocking off rival Cane Bay by 33-12 in a high school football game played at Summerville’s Memorial Stadium. It was Ashley Ridge’s season opener.

Sophomore quarterback Trevor Kalisz, making his first varsity start, led the charge with an impressive passing performance. Kalisz completed 27 of 36 passes for 283 yards and five touchdowns in the win. Senior receiver Derrick Salley caught three touchdown passes and totaled 11 catches for 157 yards.

Cane Bay, which had won five straight against Ashley Ridge, fell to 1-1 on the season.

“For a first game, I thought we did a lot of good things,” said Tate, who came to the Lowcountry after a distinguished career in the Upstate. “Really proud of our kids. We played really hard on defense tonight and I thought we were more physical. All around, it was a great team effort.”

Salley, who has several college offers already, feels that Tate’s offensive mindset gives the Swamp Foxes a fighting chance against any opponent.

“This is a state championship offense. We can go to state with this offense and we are only going to get better and better,” the 6-4, 190-pounder said.

Ashley Ridge looked crisp on the first possession of the game, traveling 69 yards on 12 plays with Kalisz tossing a 12-yard scoring pass to Jalen Drayton for a 7-0 lead with 7:25 to play in the first.

The rest of the half consisted of each team driving inside the other’s territory, but failing to finish drives. Cane Bay reached the Ashley Ridge 20-yard line before a fumble ended the threat late in the first quarter.

The Swamp Foxes took their final possession of the first half on their own 18-yard line with 1:40 remaining. Seven plays and 82 yards later, with 10 seconds remaining, Kalisz connected with Salley on a 39-yard touchdown to give Ashley Ridge a 13-0 halftime lead.

Kalisz completed 16 of 22 passes for 166 yards in the first half, with Salley grabbing five passes for 84 yards. The Cobras tallied 89 yards rushing in the half and did not attempt a pass.

Cane Bay gambled on the opening possession of the second half, failing on fourth-and-one from its own 30-yard line. The Swamp Foxes turned the good field position into a touchdown as Kalisz tossed his third touchdown pass of the night, a nine-yarder to Salley, for a 19-0 lead with 7:57 left in the third quarter.

Cane Bay finally sustained some offense in the third quarter. Brycen Johnson capped a nine-play, 66-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run with 4:16 left in the period, cutting the lead to 19-6.

Kalisz made his only mistake of the game on Ashley Ridge’s next possession, as Cane Bay’s Hayden Cooley stepped in front of a pass for an interception. The Cobras went 40 yards on eight plays with Johnson scoring on a four-yard run to make it 19-12 with 10:57 left in the game.

Ashley Ridge, however, regained control scoring in nine plays on Kalisz’ fourth touchdown pass, a 19-yarder to Dwayne Simmons to push the Swamp Foxes to a 26-12 lead.

After a short Cane Bay punt, Kalisz went back to work, capping a five-play drive with a 16-yard scoring pass to Salley with 5:07 remaining in the game.

“Not bad for a sophomore in his first game,” Tate said of his quarterback with a wink. “He wasn’t perfect but he’s young. He’s going to get better every week. We can win some games with that kid.”

The game was played at Summerville as Ashley Ridge is in the final stages of turf field installation.

With Porter-Gaud’s loss to Hanahan, there are only three undefeated teams left in the Charleston area in high school football.

Summerville, Ashley Ridge and Philip Simmons are the only unbeaten teams in the area and all three teams have one major statistic in common. All three teams are among the top offensive teams in the state, each averaging better than 40 points per game.

Summerville, at 5-0, is averaging 49 points per game and has scored at least 40 points in their last five outings.

Philip Simmons, 6-0, is just behind the Green Wave at 48.5 points per game, while Ashley Ridge, 4-0, is averaging 41 points per game under their first-year head coach Jeff Tate.

Ashley Ridge and Philip Simmons face tough tests this Friday. Ashley Ridge will open Region 7-AAAAA play against Fort Dorchester, while Philip Simmons opens 8-AAA play against defending region and AAA state champion Beaufort.

Some of Friday night’s stars:

• In Summerville’s 40-20 win over Goose Creek, running back Trae Green rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns while quarterback Jaden Cummings threw for 248 yards. Julius Brown anchored the defensive effort with eight tackles and two sacks.

Philip Simmons continued its dominant running game in a 58-10 win over Bishop England. The Iron Horses rushed for 445 yards in the win, led by KJ Asbury’s 208 yards and three touchdowns. Asbury went over 1,000 yards for the season. Backfield mate Sharod Williams added 140 yards and two scores.

West Ashley improved to 4-2 with a 38-20 road win at Timberland. The Wildcats rushed for 292 yards as a team, led by David Dounian’s 138 yards and touchdown. Kevin Brown added a rushing score and Mason White tallied two scores for the Wildcats.

Stratford earned its first win of the 2023 season after an 0-4 start, whipping St. James, 53-6. Markell Holman had a pair of rushing touchdowns and Elijah Riley had a touchdown and an interception. Anrhei McMillan had eight tackles, three tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and a blocked punt to lead a strong defensive effort.

Cane Bay residents frustrated over spotty mail delivery

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A family living in one Berkeley County community said they have not been receiving their mail on a regular basis, even after contacting postal officials. That’s when they reached out to News 2’s Raymond Owens.“We moved here about a year and a half ago and over the past year or so we have had problems with sporadic mail delivery,” said Cane Bay resident Tim Jacintho. “It doesn’t show up when it’s supposed to; it now has gotten to where we’re getting ma...

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A family living in one Berkeley County community said they have not been receiving their mail on a regular basis, even after contacting postal officials. That’s when they reached out to News 2’s Raymond Owens.

“We moved here about a year and a half ago and over the past year or so we have had problems with sporadic mail delivery,” said Cane Bay resident Tim Jacintho. “It doesn’t show up when it’s supposed to; it now has gotten to where we’re getting mail maybe two or three days a week.”

He said a lot of people depend on the mail for prescription medications, Social Security checks, and other items. He said everyone is frustrated with the situation.

Jacintho said he and other Cane Bay residents have reached out to the Summerville Post Office with their concerns.

“She’s been telling me what’s going on- they’ve had a lot of turnover with contractors, and they’re shorthanded. She said that the growth in the Cane Bay/Nexton area, which they serve, has put too much stress on the post office. They don’t have the staff or the facility to handle it.”

He contacted Congressman Nancy Mace’s office, and his state representative and state senator. He has not heard back from them. He said Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb returned his message.

“He, like, within a few hours, and said no thanks for reporting it. He said he can’t really do anything. It’s at the federal level.

Finally, he reached out to News 2 for help.

“I reached out to you because certainly I’m frustrated with the situation here and I know that my fellow neighbors and residents are also very frustrated,” he said.

News 2’s Raymond Owens called Congresswoman Mace’s office. Their office called Jacintho back and told him they would look into the problem.

We also called the postal service – their spokeswoman said she is researching the issue to learn more and will get back to us. They later provided the following response:

“The Postal Service appreciates its customers and always strives to provide the best possible service. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been experienced by customers living in the Cane Bay and Nexton communities. Local management is currently working with all stakeholders to ensure any delivery concerns are resolved. We can confirm the Summerville Post Office, like many businesses, is experiencing staffing challenges; however, through successful hiring efforts we have increased our workforce significantly. The Postal Service will continue flexing our available resources to match the workload, in addition to hosting more hiring events until all positions are filled. Interested applicants should log on to http://usps.com/careers frequently to check for new postings. We appreciate the patience of our customers and the efforts of employees as conditions change on a day-to-day basis. We urge any customers with concerns or questions about their mail delivery service to contact their local Post Office, so that we can look into and resolve their concerns promptly. Customers may also visit our website at www.usps.com/help.”

News 2 will continue following this story and bring you updates as we learn more.

Zehr counting on veteran backfield to shoulder the load at Cane Bay

Cane Bay head football coach Russell Zehr is counting heavily on a veteran backfield to lead the way for the 2023 Cobras.

Of course, the success of the backs depends on the play up front and Zehr is hoping his offensive line can grow up quickly. The Cobras are a run-oriented team offensively and that ground game can only be productive if all cylinders are clicking.

“We have good experience and good talent at the skill positions, particularly in the backfield,” says Zehr, entering his 13th season as the head coach. “That’s probably our biggest strength. We have some guys who have played a lot and they are comfortable in our system.

“But, we only have two starters back along the line and, to be honest, we still have three question marks there. I hope they can grow and come together. If they can, we will be a good offensive team. Just not there yet.”

Cane Bay’s leadership along the front comes from returning seniors Andrew Tumbleton at tackle and center Jayden Ferguson. Both will be third-year starters.

Senior Mark Stewart is the starting quarterback. Stewart was the backup for most of last season but started the last four games in place of the injured starter.

“He gained a lot of experience last season and he is ready to lead us as the full-time guy,” Zehr said.

Senior Langston Rhodes is a returning starter at fullback, having topped 500 yards last season. Senior DeShawn Tompkins and junior Brycen Johnson are returning wing backs. Both were starters a year ago.

Leading the receiving corps is senior Braylen Green, a receiver/tight end threat. Junior Qua’Shawn Pelzer and sophomore Colby Larocca also factor into the passing game. Larocca also is getting snaps as a possible backup to Stewart.

There is less true experience on the defensive side but the unit has potential. Senior Will Coker is the lone returner along the front, but junior Joshua Frost and sophomore Garrett Andy are showing potential at end. Also working inside early on are senior Steven Heard and junior Tijeh Eaton.

Senior Parker Osborne is the most experienced linebacker, with senior Brayden Pate and sophomore Dominic Russell getting early season looks at the second level.

Corner Jonas McKeen is a veteran of the secondary, along with senior safety Keaton Cooley. Sophomore MJ Davis is showing well at the other corner.

“How quickly some of these young guys can grow up and play with confidence will determine our season,” Zehr said. “We just have a lot of question marks right now. Hopefully as we play more, the guys will become consistent for us.”

The Cobras open the season on Aug. 18 with a home game against defending Class AAA state champion Beaufort. Other non-region tilts are against Ashley Ridge, West Ashley and James Island - all on the road - and a home game against May River.

SUMMERVILLE — For the third straight season, the Summerville High wrestling team will wrestle for the Class AAAAA Lower State championship.

The visiting Green Wave edged rival and host Cane Bay, 34-29, on Monday night to advance to Wednesday’s Lower State final against River Bluff, a 49-15 winner over Carolina Forest.

Summerville will host River Bluff, and won the Lower State title two seasons ago before losing in the state championship. The Green Wave lost to Ashley Ridge in the Lower State finals last season.

Summerville improved 24-2 on the season with the win, its second this season over Cane Bay. But, it wasn’t easy.

“It didn’t go as scripted, that’s for sure,” Summerville coach Darryl Tucker said. “There were some matches that did not go the way we had planned, but that happens. I am really proud of this team. This was a tough environment against a really good team and our kids found a way to get the win and move on.”

In Class AAA, Aynor defeated Beaufort by 53-29 to reach the Lower State final against Gilbert, a 40-39 winner over Waccamaw. In Class AAAA, Lugoff-Elgin topped James Island by 55-12.

Cane Bay opened the contest against Summerville with wins at 220 and 285. Will Coker earned a four-point win in the opening match and Andrew Tumbleston recorded a pin in eight seconds at 285 to give Cane Bay a quick 10-0 lead.

Summerville got a win at 106 as Landon Deaton picked up a decision to make the team score, 10-3. Xavier Anderson posted a major decision with a 15-3 win at 113, cutting Cane Bay’s team lead to 10-7.

Cane Bay then reeled off three straight wins, starting with JJ Peace’s 22-8 win at 120. Tyson Schirmer rallied from an 8-5 third period deficit and won 15-10 in overtime to give Cane Bay a 17-7 lead.

Lucas West’s pin at 132 pushed Cane Bay’s lead to 23-7, but then the Green Wave went to work.

Summerville won every remaining match of the night, starting with a technical fall by Ben Guilliam at 138 pounds. Preston Smith won at 145 to cut the margin to 23-15. Hasaan Williams got a pin at 152 and Jonah Haynes got a pin at 160 to push Summerville ahead, 27-23.

Steele Walker earned a major decision at 170 for a 31-23 Summerville lead. The Green Wave clinched the win with a victory by Mason Ayers at 182. Summerville forfeited the final match at 195 for the final four-point margin.
