What's Granite Countertops Pros And Cons?

There are a number of things to consider when selecting a countertop surface for your kitchen. If granite is at the top of your list, then to help you make a decision. Here’s the easy pros and cons Below to decide if its advantages and disadvantage make it a reasonable choice for your beloved home. Right from the start, what many would consider a con: granite can be expensive. Natural stones like granite are certainly not the most budget-friendly countertop material. On the other hand, the almost life-time investment Granite is one of the most reliable and long-lasting countertops you can pick for your home. So there’s really no pro or con. You get what you’re willing to pay for. To prevent stains and bacterial growth granite needs to be sealed regularly, and even if this a con in the stone world, most manufactures will apply a sealer to granite countertops before they are installed which will protect them from absorbing liquids too quickly. The good news is the technology for sealers has come a long way over the years, and many will last more than 10 years before needing to be reapplied. Another con that some people would consider is that granite may be cracked or chipped, but this is a fairly rare circumstance, and actually only happens when the countertop is hit very hard in a very weak area.

Maryland Quartz & Granite did a fantastic job. Selma Marcel, our sales representative, was awesome! From the moment we walked into the showroom, she was so welcoming, friendly and so helpful in guiding us to the perfect granite slab to coordinate perfectly with our cabinets and floor. Selma was wonderful also in back and forth communication. Thank you Selma! The two gentleman that came to do the measurements were wonderful too with asking us questions and also answering all questions we had. The installation went perfect too. The two installers we had did a superb job. They were both very friendly and explained things and answered any questions we had. We are very pleased and we highly recommend Maryland Quartz & Granite.

We went to several granite places to find our quartz countertop and we had the most awesome service at Maryland Quartz and Granite in Forest Hill. We worked with Selma Marcel and she was great to work with! She was very knowledgeable about the products, answered all of our questions, helped us to understand what we needed and spent time with us even after it was time to close. She was awesome and we recommend Selma and Maryland Quartz and Granite in Forest Hill to anyone looking for countertop. Thank you so much Selma for helping us find exactly what we wanted!!

After being told by our remodeling contractor that the quartz we had chosen was no longer available I contacted MQG, at 11pm on a Thursday, hoping they would be able to get our quartz . Within 30 minutes they replied, stating they would work on finding it in the morning. And they did!! Final measurements were done on the following Monday and installation was complete that Friday. From first messaging them to installation it was 1 week. 1 week, which is unheard of, especially these days. Erhan was an absolute pleasure to work with and the installers worked fast and were so nice. We could not have asked for a better experience. I hope to never need quartz again, but if I do I know who I'll be calling. Thank you so much MQG, you guys are the best of the best!!
