Don’t Take Your Countertops for “Granite”!

If you are treating yourself to a kitchen remodel for Christmas, you aren’t the only one. We have had many customers stop by lately searching our showroom for the perfect natural stone countertop. Each natural stone slab has its’ own unique features, so it typically comes down to added home value, durability and cost effectiveness. Three things that granite countertops can offer you.

#1 Durability When you are shopping for new countertops, the last thing you are thinking is… I am probably going to have to remodel them again in the future due to lack of durability. Although that may seem like a crazy thought, many homeowners do have to replace their countertops more than once. Our solution? Granite. Homeowners and contractors can’t resist the durability granite has to offer, including being scratch and chip resistant. Although damage can happen when put under extreme duress, it is not a common issue with this natural stone.

#2 Home Value

One of the many reasons to love granite is the value it adds to your Los Angeles home. Since granite is such a desirable countertop option among home buyers, many will often see a 100% return on investment. Why is the return so good? Again we go back to durability and features. Granite is unique and will last longer than any other countertop. That is a facet that will go a long way with a potential buyer.

So, whether you are flipping a house or looking to make a long-term investment, granite will be worth every dollar you spend.

#3 Cost Effective

If you are thinking about skipping the natural stone option for your countertops, think again. Although laminate may seem like the most cost effective option now, the probability that it will need to be replaced is high. How do you avoid that? Choose a natural stone countertop that has longevity.

Granite is the ultimate solution. With its’ scratch resistant qualities, you could go through a lifetime without ever needing to replace them. So, even though the upfront cost may have you rethinking your selection, know that your countertops will not disappoint down the road.

Now that we have given you our top three reasons for choosing granite countertops, are you ready to remodel your Los Angeles property? Start the new year off with a bang, and get in touch with our Team to start planning your stunning new granite kitchen or bathroom!
