If there’s one thing we know about living and building around Lake of the Ozarks, it’s this: people want quality that lasts, and they don’t want to wait around forever to get it.
Whether you’re updating your lake house kitchen, redoing a bathroom at your rental property, or building new construction anywhere from Camdenton to Eldon, choosing the right countertops makes a huge difference—not just in looks, but in how the space functions day to day.
At 14 Day Countertops, we’ve been fabricating and installing granite and quartz countertops for over 20 years. And here’s the kicker—we get them installed within 14 days of final measurements. No dragging it out for six weeks. No guesswork. Just high-quality work done fast.
Here’s why so many homeowners, flippers, and contractors around the Lake are turning to granite and quartz—and why they’re trusting us to get the job done right (and quick).
Lake Living Deserves Better Surfaces
Let’s be honest: lake life can be hard on a home. Between sand, snacks, sunscreen, humidity, and good old-fashioned entertaining, your surfaces take a beating. And cheap laminate or tile just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Here’s why granite and quartz rise to the top—literally and figuratively.
✅ Granite: Tough, Timeless, and One-of-a-Kind
Granite is a natural stone that holds up to heat, scratches, and wear and tear better than almost anything. No two slabs are exactly alike, which means your kitchen island or bathroom vanity will have its own unique pattern—just like a fingerprint.
-
Great for cooking and entertaining
-
Handles heat like a champ (yes, you can set a hot pan on it)
-
Comes in tons of earthy tones that blend beautifully with lake home style
✅ Quartz: Clean, Modern, and Practically Bulletproof
Quartz is engineered stone, which means it’s made with natural quartz plus a little resin to bind it. The result? A surface that’s non-porous, stain-resistant, and super easy to keep clean.
-
Ideal for busy kitchens or rentals
-
Doesn’t need to be sealed—ever
-
Sleek, uniform look with bold or subtle patterns
If you ask us, quartz is a no-brainer for vacation homes or Airbnbs. It’s easy to maintain, and guests can’t mess it up too badly.
From Osage Beach to Eldon: What Our 14-Day Process Looks Like
Now, about that 14-day promise. Here’s how it works—and why it’s become such a hit around here.
1. Start with a Free Consultation
You can stop by our showroom or we’ll come to you—we’re flexible. We’ll walk you through material options, edge styles, and colors. We’ll also take a look at your layout or blueprints and give you a free, no-strings-attached estimate.
Want white quartz with dramatic veining? Or a deep black granite that hides every crumb? We’ll help you pick the right fit.
2. We Take Precise Measurements
Once you’re ready to move forward, we come out to measure the space. We use digital templating tools to get exact cuts, even in older homes where walls aren’t always square (if you’ve ever remodeled an older place around the Lake, you know what we mean).
3. Fabrication Happens Locally
Our team cuts and finishes your countertops right here in Missouri. No shipping delays or third-party shops involved. We’ve been doing this for decades, so you’re in good hands.
4. Installation Within 14 Days
This is where we really stand out. From the time we finish measuring, we commit to having your countertops installed in two weeks or less. That means no sitting around waiting for calls. You can actually plan your project around our timeline—and we’ll stick to it.
Real Talk: What’s Popular Right Now at the Lake?
We’ve worked on everything from rustic lakefront cabins to sleek new homes overlooking the water. Here’s what folks around Lake of the Ozarks are asking for lately:
🟢 White Quartz with Subtle Veining
Think modern farmhouse meets lakeside chic. Clean, bright, and works beautifully with natural wood cabinets.
🟢 Leathered Black Granite
This one’s growing in popularity. It has a textured finish (less shiny), hides fingerprints, and looks great in homes that lean more rustic or industrial.
🟢 Contrasting Kitchen Islands
A lot of people are going with two-toned kitchens—a light perimeter countertop and a darker island slab, or vice versa. It adds depth and character.
🟢 Waterfall Edges
Not for everyone, but if you want that ultra-modern feel, waterfall edges on islands are a bold move.
Got something else in mind? We’ve probably done it. Just ask—we’re happy to show you samples or past projects for inspiration.

What About Countertop Maintenance?
Here’s the good news: both granite and quartz are low-maintenance—but a little know-how helps keep them looking sharp for years.
Granite Care Tips:
-
Use a mild cleaner or just soap and water
-
Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach
-
Reseal once a year (we’ll tell you if your slab needs it)
Quartz Care Tips:
-
Wipe up spills quickly
-
No need to seal it—ever
-
Don’t put hot pans straight on it (use a trivet)
Got kids, renters, or messy houseguests? Quartz might be your best bet.
