Choosing between granite and quartz countertops is just a matter of preference. Granite is often chosen because it’s naturally produced, while quartz, an engineered stone, allows for more possibilities in terms of selection. Take a look below to learn more about both options.

Granite
- 100% Natural, mined as raw material
- Unique in appearance, occurs naturally
- Price varies from slab to slab due to sourcing and transportation costs
- Clean daily, reseal yearly
- Durable, but porous, so subject to stains from spills
- Slightly less expensive of an option

Quartz
- Engineered, stone mixed with resin
- Manufactured and designed for selections
- More environmentally-friendly than mined granite (Cuts down on transport if customer uses regionally manufactured stone & local fabricators)
- Clean daily, but no need to reseal due to its solid surface
- Harder than granite, more durable, not porous, easier to keep surfaces bacteria-free
- More expensive due to manufactured nature
