Granite is porous and requires regular sealing to prevent staining and etching from spills. It can also be quite heavy, potentially requiring reinforcement of existing cabinetry. While beautiful, its natural variations mean each slab is unique, which might not suit everyone's preference. We can explore alternatives that offer similar aesthetics with different maintenance needs.
Many homeowners refer to engineered stone, like quartz, as 'fake granite.' Quartz countertops are made from natural quartz crystals mixed with resins and pigments, creating a non-porous, highly durable surface. They can mimic the look of granite or offer entirely new designs, making them a practical and stylish choice for busy New York kitchens.
The cost of a 10 ft piece of granite countertop varies significantly based on the specific stone's rarity, origin, and the complexity of fabrication.

For excellent long-term value, quartz is often considered the best countertop. It’s highly durable, resistant to stains and scratches, and requires minimal maintenance. Laminate offers a budget-friendly entry point, while granite provides natural beauty with moderate upkeep. We'll help you weigh these factors to find the best fit for your budget and lifestyle.
Current trends favor natural stone looks, with marble-inspired quartz and dramatic veining being very popular. Matte finishes are also gaining traction for a more contemporary feel. Bold colors and unique textures are emerging as ways to add personality to kitchens throughout New York City.
While we focus on countertops, any significant renovations involving plumbing or electrical work for your kitchen cupboards in New York City typically require permits. It's always best to consult with your building's management or the NYC Department of Buildings for specific regulations. We ensure our countertop installations comply with all necessary standards.
