Most Popular Countertops in Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach, 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?
If you're just beginning your search for new countertops, it can be a little overwhelming trying to whittle down your options. We've got good news - with over 19 years in the industry, our team of experts has learned a thing or two about countertops. When you come to the Real Deal Countertops showroom, one of our goals is to educate you about our products and your countertop options, so you can make an educated purchasing decision.

How Will You Use Your Countertops in Myrtle Beach?

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 Myrtle Beach, 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?


Real Deal Countertops Pro Tip:
Because your home's accessories and paint job may change with time, your countertops should have a versatile color. That way, you won't have problems matching them with new paint colors or appliances.

Apartments planned at Little River biker bar site win approval despite residents concerns

LITTLE RIVER – Horry County officials are considering a controversial plan to turn a Little River biker bar site into a high-end apartment complex despite residents’ concerns about traffic and overcrowding.
The plan would rezone an 18.72-acre lot at Pecan Street and S.C. 9 East from commercial forest agriculture to multi-residential, which would allow 374 apartments and more than 600 parking spaces to be built.
The site features the biker bar Harley’s Roadhouse.
Horry County Council will consider first reading of the plan March 7. Horry Planning Commission, the board addressing county development, approved the plan March 2.
John Danford, Thomas & Hutton’s project manager, said March 2 he believes there is good stormwater drainage and road connections on the property, which makes it good for the complex.
″(This project) is something we’ve put a lot of time and effort into,” Danford said. “It’s a really good piece of property.”
Hidden Brooke subdivision residents behind the property are concerned the plan would make the area’s traffic issues worse and reduce their quality of life.
“The infrastructure is not there,” Hidden Brooke subdivision homeowner John Margan said. “I don’t understand what these people are thinking.”
Residents said they already face challenges with leaving Pecan Street, their main subdivision road. The street opens onto Sea Mountain Highway without a stoplight, and S.C. Highway 9 East connects to Sea Mountain Highway with a wide turn. This allows cars to keep coming without reprieve, residents said.
Susan Kreyer, another local homeowner, said school traffic from North Myrtle Beach High and Junior High School also causes backups during the peak school pickup times, which makes congestion worse.
Kreyer said the plan also could increase school and health care facility overcrowding. Some residents have said they had to wait several months before there were available appointments for their local healthcare providers.
All five North Myrtle Beach schools already have exceeded their functional capacity for the 2022-23 school year. Functional capacity reflects a school’s space constraints, according to county documents.
“I don’t know how we’re going to funnel any children that are coming into this area into our already crowded schools,” Kreyer said. “And our children who happen to walk home from the high school will be more at risk with the increased traffic.”
In response, Danford said the Horry Board of Education can address the district’s overcrowding. Also, regarding traffic, Danford said Pecan Street is a public road so his client has a right to use it.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) -- For the first time in years leaders of Horry County and Myrtle Beach got together just to talk and build a better relationship.
There was no agenda or specific topics to discuss Thursday night.
Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune started the evening by talking about the importance of unity and working stronger together.
“When we are pulling in the same direction we can do so much more,” said Mayor Bethune.
Members of Myrtle Beach City Council, Horry County Council along with Myrtle Beach and Horry County leaders talked for nearly two hours at the Train Depot in Myrtle Beach.
Mayor Bethune and Horry County Chairman Johnny Gardner recognize during their first terms in office the relationship between county and city leaders was not perfect.
“Today was a breath of fresh air and everyone coming together it’s very good for us,” said Gardner.
No major issues were discussed as both council members were able to meet some of the new faces and catch up with long-time council leaders.
Mayor Bethune said she believes this was the first time Horry County Council and Myrtle Beach City Council have met in this type of setting with no set agenda or business to discuss.
She said in order to accomplish their goals and vision they need to all be able to work together.
“It doesn’t mean we won’t have disagreements but we can disagree and work together in a unified manner and that’s when we can make great things happen,” said Bethune.
Some of those future goals include improving infrastructure, addressing community issues like public safety, and affordable housing along with economic development and climate sustainability.
“We can’t do the things we need to do without the cooperation of each other as the mayor said unity is the keyword and I agree with her 100% our County Council is unified moving and so is Myrtle Beach and now we are working together,” said Gardner.
Gardner and Bethune look forward to making Horry County and the city of Myrtle Beach a better for everyone to call home and vacation.

MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (WYFF) — There is no doubt that pollen is making an early appearance in South Carolina this year, and a picture of the yellow ocean in Myrtle Beach proves it once again.
Earlier this week, we showed a picture of an alligator in Moncks Corner covered in pollen and talked about the early allergy season.
And then we found this picture that Lakiesha Grainger took on Wednesday at the Springmaid Pier.
According to pollen.com the pollen forecast for the Myrtle Beach area is high for Thursday and Friday.
It was in the medium to high category when the picture was taken.
Tree pollen actually started showing up in January in our area. It was low, but just the presence of it that early is rare.
The tree pollen soared to high levels in February, with weed pollen even showing up months early from time to time.
Tree pollen usually shows up in March in our area and peaks in April.
Grass pollen starts peaking in May and June and weed pollen shows up at the end of July and typically peaks in September.
So if you are suffering from allergies, we are sorry to say this is just the beginning of the season.
Got allergies? SC doctors say allergy season came early, and could last longer than normal
Dr. Trip Johnstone, with Allergy Partners of the Upstate, says if this early start is any indicator of what the rest of allergy season will look like, you might need to stock up on tissues and medication now.
He also recommends the following:
– Avoidance of the allergen – Medications like non-drowsy antihistamines and nasal sprays – When all else fails, allergy shots can lessen allergic reactions permanently – “It probably means we’re going to have a worse season,” Johnson adds. “The Upstate area is pretty bad to begin with. It’s not like we have a milder allergy season, so what that probably means is a more prolonged season than a short one.”

Federal government allocates $70M to help restore Grand Strand beaches

Millions of dollars will be spent to help restore Grand Strand and South Strand beaches that were heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WMBF) – Millions of dollars will be spent to help restore Grand Strand and South Strand beaches that were heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Charleston District announced it’s been given $97 million dollars from The Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act 2023 to repair damages to several beaches in Myrtle Beach, Folly Beach and Pawleys Island.
The projects will be 100% federally funded, with no cost to the sponsor.
“The District is excited to be able to partner with these beach communities to rehabilitate the beaches back to pre-storm conditions where they will once again be able to provide risk reduction to the infrastructure of these beautiful public coastal communities that we all can enjoy,” said Lt. Col Drew Johannes, the District’s Commanding Officer. “The repair of these projects will reduce coastal storm risk and protect the beaches that provide far-reaching economic and recreational opportunities for the entire state of South Carolina.”
To address the extensive beach erosion by Hurricane Ian, $56 million will go toward Grand Strand beaches, which includes North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Garden City. The city of North Myrtle Beach announced that $13 million of that funding will be used to restore its beaches.

Mark Kruea, the spokesperson for Myrtle Beach, said repairing the dunes is important safety element when big storms hit.
“It is our first line of defense against a hurricane. It’s designed to take the ocean when it rises up and that’s what it did during Ian. Now, we need to put the beach back,” Kruea said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates that North Myrtle Beach will receive 350,000 cubic yards of sand, Myrtle Beach will receive 650,000 cubic yards of sand and the Surfside Beach and Garden City area will get 500,000 cubic yards of sand. To put this into perspective, that’s about 150,000 dump truckloads from offshore sand sources.
Pawleys Island, which was closest to where Hurricane Ian made landfall, will receive $14 million for emergency rehabilitation. About 200,000 cubic yards of sand will help restore a 1.2-mile section of Pawleys Island. The money will also go toward repairing and replacing sand fencing and vegetation on the dunes.
The Charleston District has already initiated engineering and design needed to complete the repairs, but construction contracts may not be awarded until late summer or early fall for Myrtle Beach and early winter for Pawleys Island.
Kruea said the beach restorations probably won’t begin in Myrtle until 2024.
“It worries us from the potential of, ‘Will we get another hurricane this summer?’ Because again, the beach is there to provide that cushion when the ocean comes with the storm surge, so we’ll see,” Kruea said.
Folly Beach in the Charleston area will receive $27 million for emergency sand replacement due to Hurricanes Ian and Nicole.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — This summer could be met with some new looks for Myrtle Beach, as the Cultural Resource Committee discussed the next steps for two areas Thursday.
One is a space on 12th Ave. off of Ocean Blvd., right next to the 'Slingshot' amusement ride.
TRENDING: SC officials release statewide study on population; affordability impacts on housing
The area is blocked off to drivers, but because it's lined by a sidewalk, members said not a lot of pedestrians use the whole space as it's intended.
The idea discussed, would lay a graphic design over the area, and maybe some seating for people to wait for the ride, or watch it from that space, instead of Ocean Blvd.
The design would be printed instead of painted because once a year heavy maintenance trucks ride through the area to work on the ride.
“They just lay them down, and it’s heated down with a blowtorch, and it sticks to the ground. They can print a design, it can look like waves, or it can be blue," Brian Schmitt of the city's downtown research and development said during the meeting.
Their next step is to open a request for graphic artists, and one member, Thomas Davis, said he had one of waves and sand prepared.
A little further up the road on 9th Ave., Schmitt said there's a space in the Arts and Innovation District opening up for some of their work.
NEW: South Carolina ranks as top five golf destinations in the world
He said the owner of the alley next to the Aspire Hub is donating the space, and members discussed plans to put some lighting, tables, and landscaping in the space.
The talked about using each square on the building's wall for different murals, but since it's right next to the hub, one idea was to incorporate technology.
“Whether it’s someone pulling up their phone and the images are different when they’re viewing it through a certain app, or whether it’s projections or interactive lights, whatever it might be. It could be really cool to make this space—because it’s right next to the Aspire Hub," Shannon Farro said.
There weren't enough members physically present to vote, so Schmitt said they could do that through an email, and in the meantime, work with the city and other organizations to apply for grants and get the ball rolling.
