All Calls Saturday! | Hour 1

Home with Dean Sharp

Dean Sharp kicks off an All Calls Weekend by letting listeners steer the conversation. He begins with a thoughtful discussion on rebuilding after a home loss due to fire, then takes a call about surface sealers—explaining how porosity, moisture, and high-humidity environments affect stone, and why penetrating sealers can enhance without trapping water. Dean breaks down the difference between stone enhancements and a “wet look,” and clarifies the roles of sealers vs. color enhancers, cautioning against shiny surface resins. Later, he advises a caller on how to upgrade her kitchen while preserving her original countertop, exploring economical cabinetry changes, the benefits of quartz, and why the absence of natural veining is a strength in stone durability.
