Granite is a natural stone and can be porous, potentially leading to stains if spills aren't cleaned promptly. It also needs periodic sealing to maintain its protective qualities. Despite this, its unique beauty is a major draw for many homeowners.

The material often compared to 'fake granite' is quartz. It's an engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments. This allows for a wide range of colors and patterns, often mimicking granite's look.

The price for granite countertops depends on the specific type of granite, its thickness, and the complexity of the installation. Different edge styles also affect the final cost. We offer a free phone quote to give you accurate pricing for your project.
