New countertops are an investment in the future of your home and there can be an overwhelming amount of options when choosing the material of your new countertops. Whether you are looking for something fashionable, durable, and easily maintained, the material to choose is granite.
Granite countertops have been a top choice for years and there are many tried and true reasons why.
Granite Adds Value to Your Home
While the initial cost of granite countertops can seem pricey, they are truly an investment that adds value to your home. Returns on installing granite countertops are often 100%. Granite countertops are one of the most desired items on prospective home buyers’ wish lists.
When listing a home, granite countertops can add a competitive edge to your home when compared to listings of similar value. Even if you are not currently interested in selling your home, granite countertops are a stellar way to invest in your home, one that will stay fashionable for decades to come.
Granite Is Durable
Second only to diamond in terms of natural hardness, granite is almost impossible to chip or crack. The durability of granite holds up under high heat and high traffic use areas. Installing granite countertops means you will never have to replace the countertops in your home again. Not only do they have a classic beauty that will never go out of style, but they will also last for generations.
When compared to stones that can be even more expensive, such as marble or soapstone, granite countertops can last twice as long even with heavy use. The average lifespan of properly installed and sealed granite countertops is conservatively estimated at 30+ years.
Maintenance is a Breeze
Properly installed granite countertops are super easy to maintain. Sealed granite countertops are usually just wiped down with soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner. The seal keeps the stone from absorbing stains and is very hygienic. Properly maintained granite deters bacteria build-up and germs. Granite countertops do have to be resealed every so often, but the average lifespan of each seal can be 10 years with regular use.
Sealing is an easy task and most reliable when done by a professional. You’ll l be happy with the results and enjoy them for years.
