Countertop Materials Frequently Asked Questions
Upgrading your bathroom or kitchen countertops can help increase your home’s value while updating its design and functionality. Giving yourself more space to meal prep in the kitchen can enhance your cooking experience and make the space feel more accessible. Investing in more durable countertops for your bathroom can help protect them from mold, mildew, heat, and scratches.
However, choosing the right countertop material can feel a bit daunting with so many options to consider. Below, we’ve answered frequently asked questions about selecting countertop materials to aid your decision. If you need further information, we urge you to contact us and schedule a consultation with someone from our experienced team at Signature Marble and Granite.
There isn’t a “one size fits all” as to which countertop material is best for your kitchen or bathroom. The answer depends on your needs, preferences, and budget. Each countertop material has its own unique qualities and benefits. It’s important to consider many factors when making your decision, including:
- Durability
- Maintenance
- Cost
- Aesthetics (Color, Style, Pattern, etc.)
The answer to this depends on your specific preferences and priorities. Laminate countertops may be among the most budget-friendly options, but they aren’t as durable as natural stone materials. Quartz countertops offer style and durability at an affordable price point. Investing in higher-quality, high-end countertops now can save you money in the long run by avoiding frequent repairs or replacements. Weigh a few of the pros and cons of each of these countertop materials we offer:
- Granite – Granite is durable and heat-resistant, but it requires regular sealing. Poorly sealed granite countertops can be more porous, absorbing liquid spills and housing harmful bacteria.
- Marble – Marble offers timeless beauty, but it can be prone to staining and scratching. Marble countertops are great for cooking because they cool naturally, though they aren’t completely resistant to heat.
- Quartz – Quartz is one of the most durable countertop materials, but it can be costly to install. Quartz countertops are non-porous and are far less likely to chip or crack when compared to other countertop materials. However, quartz is susceptible to heat and UV damage.
- Quartzite – Quartzite has the beauty of marble combined with the durability of granite. It’s low-maintenance and UV-resistant, but it’s expensive, difficult to install, and prone to scratching.
- Porcelain – Porcelain countertops are easy to maintain and renowned for their durability and hardness. However, porcelain will crack with enough force and comes in limited profile options compared to other countertop materials.
Granite and marble countertops generally have the highest resale value, thanks to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Other high-end options like quartz or quartzite can add value to your home. It’s essential to consider current style and market trends in your local area when deciding which countertop material will help you increase your home’s resale value.
How to refinish your countertops will vary depending on the material you select. Countertop refinishing generally involves sanding down the countertop surface, applying a new layer of finish or sealant, and possibly adding a new coat of paint or stain. High-end materials like granite or quartz may benefit from professional refinishing for the best results. You’ll want to research the recommended maintenance and refinishing methods for your specific countertop material to protect your investment and avoid unnecessary repairs or replacements. Reach out to our experts with questions or concerns about refinishing your countertops.
Yes. A sealant is used for all types of natural stone materials, including quartzite. While it is resistant to heat and scratches, it’s a porous material that can absorb liquids, causing it to stain. Professional sealing creates a barrier designed to protect your quartzite from daily wear and tear. We recommend resealing your countertops annually to maintain their beauty.
Reviews
This is the company to use! Mick and his crew are wonderful to work with and they do excellent work. I was a little worried because our slabs had a lot of different colors and some areas I didn't like as well. Mick listened to my concerns and used the prettiest pieces of the stones for the final product. It is absolutely stunning. He is an artist. And he is very kind and caring.
Amazing experience with Mick and Signature Marble and granite. Not only did Mick beat our unfair timeline by a whole WEEK! He went the extra mile every step of the way to make sure we were going to be happy with what we chose. Mick was great about working up multiple, REAL estimates that actually broke everything down so we knew exactly what we were getting and paying for. Mick was the only contractor to do this out of many we got bids from by the way. Very FAIR, very transparent, thorough and prompt every step of the way. We're glad we went with Signature. Have already referred friends from work.
These guys were wonderful to work with. We built a new home and Mick made this part of the process seemless, quick and the results were a dream. So happy with our countertops and fireplace surround!!
Excellent service and quality. I called for an estimate and he was out to measure the next day and I had an quite that same day. Fabrication, delivery, and installation all completed within a week from getting his quote. Product was beautiful and his install team was so great! I highly recommend Mick and his team. They were awesome!
