If you are looking to do a kitchen remodel, picking your countertops is a good place to start. Since this is a long term investment and can be costly, many homeowners want to learn about all the options available and make an informed decision. Granite countertops are an excellent choice for your kitchen, and here are some of the most frequently asked questions about granite countertops.

Q: Do granite countertops give good value for money?
A: In almost every case yes. If you are looking to sell your home, granite is a good investment. It is highly durable, resistant to damage from scratching or heat, and highly resistant to stains, and adds beauty and longevity to the kitchen. The same qualities make it a good investment, even if you are planning to stay long-term, and you will enjoy it indefinitely.

Q: Should I hire a professional to install countertops or can I do it myself?
A: Unless you have experience, you should hire someone. Granite installation is difficult and technical, and should not be attempted by an amateur. It doesn’t do you any good to save money on the labor only to have to pay for new granite later due to damage and mishaps during the DIY installation.

Q: How much maintenance does granite require?
A: Granite is very easy to care for. Under normal circumstances, provided there is no negligence or deliberate destruction, there is very little you can do to damage it. Be sure to seal your granite and then clean it regularly with mild soap and water and it should last for the life of the house.

Q: Should I opt for granite or marble?
A: If you want a very elegant look for your kitchen, then marble is a good choice. For most homeowners, however, granite is the better choice. Marble is more porous and more difficult to maintain, and is generally more expensive.

Q: Are there big differences between laminate and granite?
A: Absolutely. There are some very well-made laminates, many of which are designed to replicate the look of granite. What they cannot replicate is the unsurpassed durability of granite. Laminates are somewhat vulnerable, susceptible to damage from liquid, and easily scratched by cutlery. Laminate countertops can even fade from natural sunlight. Most laminates will last only about 5-10 years before needing replacement. Granite, on the other hand, will likely last as long as the house itself.
